I believe it's because bank wire transfers in Germany are almost (if not
actually) free. Now, if someone in Germany were to send me a wire
transfer, it would cost me at least $40 and probably more, as my bank
thought up new names for fees to attach to the transaction.
But then, that's about what my bank charges to cash a cashier's check made
payable by the New York branch of a German bank.
