I wear many hats.\u00a0 Sometimes, I think my nickname should be \u201cHat Rack\u201d.\u00a0 However, I love it when it opens up the opportunity to bring something special to our loyal EscapeArtist membership.\u00a0 As they say, membership has its privileges. I especially love it, when the opportunity helps resolve a core challenge many face here in Ecuador.\u00a0 So, you follow the wise principles of multiple locations for your assets, your residence and your sources of income.\u00a0 You decide to reside or even retire here in Ecuador, because you appreciate value, seek natural beauty and yearn for a simpler, but richer lifestyle.\u00a0 So, you target that perfect beachfront bungalow or perfect SUV you just have to purchase.\u00a0 So, how do you get money transfers to Ecuador – from point A, your deposit account, to point B, the seller\u2019s Ecuadorian bank account?<\/p>\n

For most, the only solution has been the traditional electronic bank wire transfer.\u00a0 However, we all know the challenges.\u00a0 Bank wire transfer fees are going up what seems almost daily.\u00a0 For some, in countries like the USA, it seems\u00a0 your bank makes it more difficult by the minute to implement a simple bank wire transfer. Almost like you have to provide a DNA sample and sign transfer documents in blood.<\/p>\n

Still, at least USA residents have one advantage – their currency is the USD, just like Ecuador.\u00a0 But what if you are transferring funds from Canada, the UK or China?\u00a0 Then you have to suffer the additional indignity of going through the bank wire transfer currency conversion rates process.\u00a0 I am pretty sure this process is designed along the lines of casino gambling in Vegas.\u00a0 No matter how likely it looks like you might win, you eventually face \u201chouse odds\u201d and the roll of the dice reads \u201csnake eyes\u201d.\u00a0 The system seems designed to give you the worst conversion rate possible, on any given day and, yet, still charge you the highest conversion fee just shy of loan shark rates.<\/p>\n

I am happy to report this is no longer the case.\u00a0 A solution has arrived.\u00a0 No, no, I am not going to ask you to go to some seedy dockside bar, hire a drunken sailor and sneak a suitcase full of money onto coastal Ecuador.\u00a0 We may like to call ourselves Pirates of the Pacific around here, but there are limits\u2026some, at least.<\/p>\n

What I offer goes back to the whole \u201chat wearing\u201d experience.\u00a0 Donning other said \u201csombrero\u201d, I am what is called an Ambassador for a separate organization known as InterNations.\u00a0 The Chapter for which I serve as Ambassador is based out of Guayaquil, Ecuador, this nation\u2019s commercial capitol.\u00a0 InterNations is the largest volunteer Expat network organization in the world.\u00a0 We simply serve to provide a friendly face to travelers and \u201cwould be\u201d Expats seeking to explore all that Ecuador offers.\u00a0 We do this mostly through our website, email and monthly communal meetings, which bring together Expats from all walks of life and all regions of the world, for some camaraderie, drinks and a good meal.<\/p>\n

What is important to you, our EscapeArtist reader, is that through a special partnership with InterNations, we can now provide our loyal EscapeArtist membership with access to a new form of international wire transfer and currency exchange option, at significant cost savings, less red tape and better service quality than dealing with the antiquated and increasingly more intrusive global banking system.<\/p>\n

Imagine partnering with a global service provider that has conducted almost \u20a417 billion in global currency exchange and international wire transfers.\u00a0 A company which takes only a fraction in transaction fees, compared to the global banks.\u00a0 A service oriented corporation that provides exceptional international money transfer exchange rates, on a daily basis.\u00a0 A company that does not hide any extra fees or commission charges.\u00a0 Essentially, this partner company offers your own personal clearing house for currency conversion and global financial wire transfers, at the fastest available international payment rates, with the highest degree of client services.<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t you like a worry free and more efficient method to make your purchases in Ecuador, especially for large items, such as a villa, car or furnishing a home? Well, this is exactly what we are offering the EscapeArtist readership, in accessing this leading company, in global payments and foreign exchange.\u00a0 But what if your registered membership here at EscapeArtist Ecuador, opened the door to another exclusive, by invitation only, membership, which provided an extra benefit for all your money transfer requirements to Ecuador and anywhere else in the world?\u00a0 Well, that is exactly what I am offering.<\/p>\n

InterNations is a welcoming and transparent organization, but it is strictly a \u201cby invitation only\u201d organization.\u00a0 You have to be referred to the website by an existing member or Ambassador, in order to be offered membership privileges.\u00a0 As the Guayaquil, Ecuador Ambassador, I am offering any and all registered members of EscapeArtist Ecuador an invitation to membership at InterNations.\u00a0 Basic membership is absolutely free and signing up takes no more than 5 minutes.\u00a0 While I am sure you can see the benefits of being part of the largest Expat network in the world, some of you might be wondering what this has to do with wire transfers and simplifying your life further in Ecuador?\u00a0 Glad you, sort of, asked.<\/p>\n

Our new financial services partner has offered InterNations members an exclusive offer, which not only guarantees<\/b> the best available global exchange rate, but also provides unlimited<\/b> free international money transfers.\u00a0 Yep, free.\u00a0 Like they say, it doesn\u2019t get any better than \u201cfree\u201d.\u00a0 With corporate global offices around the world, accessible 24 hours per day, one would have to be a little lax in their diligence, if they didn\u2019t at least consider this opportunity.\u00a0 After all, in a world where everyone is offering \u201cdeals\u201d at $349, just to peek under their hood, this entire EscapeArtist and InterNations offer is free!\u00a0 What a beautiful word\u2026\u201dfree\u201d!<\/p>\n

Here is all you have to do and, trust me, no last minute zinger.\u00a0 If you are one of the few who has not already done so, please fill out the convenient and readily accessible registration form right here on our EscapeArtist Ecuador website.\u00a0 Only registered EscapeArtist members will be invited by me into InterNations.\u00a0 All you need is to enter one word in the comments section, \u201cInterNations\u201d.\u00a0 With your name and email address\u2026and\u2026that one word, I will email you with the instructions for InterNations membership.\u00a0 Again, membership made easy.\u00a0 Filling out both the EscapeArtist registration and the InterNations membership application, won\u2019t take 10 minutes combined.\u00a0 Once you are registered in InterNations, I will provide the details about our service provider, with the key point of contact to begin your new worry free global money transfer and currency exchange lifestyle.\u00a0 Just that easy.<\/p>\n

I have selected to introduce this service through EscapeArtist Ecuador because our existing membership has clamored for such services.\u00a0 I also want to limit the number of individuals that rush through this unique financial services provider program.\u00a0 After all, part of their emphasis is on quality, personalized service.\u00a0 Hard to do, if we open this up to the general public.\u00a0 i is precisely why, I have purposely chosen not to release their name, on a publicly accessible website, but only to registered EscapeArtist Ecuador members.<\/p>\n

However, nothing in life is perfect.\u00a0 If you are already in the majority who have registered with our Ecuador portal via EscapeArtist, we are going to ask that you register again, providing that key word of \u201cInterNations\u201d.\u00a0 We only want to invite those exclusive few with a genuine interest in this service, who will be consistent clients with our financial service provider.\u00a0 I hope you will understand and pardon the inconvenience, of making you go through this twice.\u00a0 Frankly, it might happen again in the future.\u00a0 At EscapeArtist, we are not like most who wish to clutter you mailbox with daily nonsense.\u00a0 We only want to provide targeted and meaningful opportunities, which require regular interaction with our website.\u00a0 Thank you for your understanding and I hope you will enjoy this new service, found at EscapeArtist Ecuador.<\/p>\n
