Notable Quotes 3
Please specify the originating account so that I can confirm this transaction, after searching PRIME and DB FORCE (our PB systems, I am unable to locate the transaction). Also, any idea as to why, if this is an internal transfer, that funds are being sent through HSBC?
Just to clarify, the funds came in from client's Private bank account (in house — from DBTCA account/PB into his DBSI account).
What is the purpose of the Outgoing Transfer? Purchase of Art.
