But, you can request your bank to clear the funds. There may be a cost
involved, but sometimes it is worth it. Although there are policies about
people being able to deposit to your account and having to jump through
hoops to withdraw, I would be leery to give out these details to an unknown
individual especially over the internet. Ask your banker how best to
proceed. ( But, I would ask for a bank draft or have my banker handle it. )
