Wire Transfers at Global Bank

[Siempre Soluciones]

I havet a friend who no longer lives in Boquete who needs to wire funds from his account at Global Bank to an account at a bank in the US.  He's asked me to do it so before I begin the journey I'd like to know if there's anyone out there that has done a third party wire transfer from Global Bank. 

Question:  Would they allow me as a third party to submit a wire transfer request (I assume a paper form since my friend does not do online banking) with my friend's signature on it?  Does he have to be present?

That should be pretty close to impossible given the justifiable concerns about both customer security and money laundering. Ask for Carmen at Global Bank. If it can be done, she would know how.

I have never had to initiate a wire transfer in person. I've always done it online. Has your friend tried that?

The form they use requires the Client's authorized signature.

Thanks to all for the contributions.  It looks as though I've got to meet with Carmen to see if and how a wire transfer can be executed with a signed form while not present.  Perhaps if the form is notarized.  I'll report back.
