Correspondent bank information requested.

In a conversation with our bankers, they told me that many non-USA banks
have correspondent banks in the USA they prefer to work with and it can
avoid fees.

    * Issue you a check in USD from a USA bank, sent to you via post.
 
      For this option, I just need your postal address.
 

	
 
    * Wire the amount in your local currency to your bank account in your
 
      country.  For this option, I need as much of the following information
 
      as it's possible for you to collect.  While some of this information
 
      isn't always needed, the more I have, the less likely there will be
 
      problems with your wire.  I note below in parenthesis which fields are

                  SWIFT and/or BIC Code (mandatory for non-USA wires)

                     fees during wire transit to direct an international
 
                     wire.  Since Conservancy's payment is coming from the
 
                     USA, it's best if you ask your own bank what USA
 
                     correspondent bank they prefer for USA wire transfers.
 
                     This is the best way to avoid that fee.)
