I need to get funds from UK and SBI bank branch (in which I have account) do not have forex facility (therefore do not have IBAN/BIC code). Can it be possible to get funds transferred to other branch (which has forex facility) and then transfer from one branch to another?

I would suggest that you use a currency exchange specialist. You would transfer the money to them, they would do the currency transfer for you and then transfer the money on to your destination account.

I am moving to Los Angeles next year. I’d like to get a job doing something similar to what I’m doing now (sales/account management & some customer service) for cmcmarkets.co.uk

Can anyone let me know of any stock brokers or forex brokers in L.A.?

Many thanks!
