| Each
year, when it is time to renew ILA memberships or to register for the
annual Convention and Technical Symposium, we are faced with problems
relating to "wire transfers." We understand that this form of
money transfer is fast and convenient for some members or registrants,
and we do not want to reduce that convenience.
However: It happens that wire transfers arrive at the ILA with very little data on where or from whom they came. This seems strange, but we have been unable to obtain detail from the bank. When several wire transfers arrive for the same amount (as in renewals or convention payment), it is impossible to know who paid and who did not. Therefore, we ask that each member contemplating a wire transfer do the following before executing the wire transfer: - Think about doing the transaction by credit card if possible. - If you must use wire transfer, send us an e-mail at ila@loran.org or fax us at 805-967-8471, to give the details of the transaction (who, what when, where-from, how-much). - Remarkably, banks currently charge $45 for wire transfers, so we must do the same. It should not come as a surprise that we recommend check or credit card payments. While still not perfect, this will help us to be sure you are credited with the proper payment. Thank you for your help! ILA Operations Center 741 Cathedral Pointe Lane Santa Barbara, CA 93111 Telephone: (805) 967-8649 Fax: (805) 967-8471 Email: ila@loran.org |
