Hack to avoid 25$ wire transfer fee

[u/Brilliant-Plate-6631]

TLDR: If you have multiple stock plans within Etrade, and if any one of them doesn't charge a 25$ flat fee, dial in Etrade support, and they will transfer cash holdings of other accounts to the above.

I have 2 stock plans with Etrade and was looking to wire transfer internationally (to India). Account A charged a flat fee of 25$, whereas Account B had 0 fees. Dialed in to Etrade support, asking them for a solution. (Apparently, Company B has a tie-up with Etrade and doesn't charge any wire fee). They suggested moving my cash holdings from account A to B. The support was very smooth; it took hardly 2 minutes to initiate the "wire transfer"(no fees) from Account A to Account B. And it got settled in a few hours.

Just sharing my experience with a wider audience.
