Just discovered TransferWise - a great and Cheap way to send money abroad!

Thorien · 21 Aug 2015 at 23:58

I've just used TransferWise, and as it does what is says on the tin - it's Bleeding Brilliant!

I had a referral code that let's you send up to £3000 abroad for free! No transfer fees, really easy to use and soooo much cheaper than any other method (paypal / bank etc) as you even get the best rate I could find - your money is converted at the mid-market rate!

Everyone seems to rave about it, including Sir Richard Branson!
Here's a link to their website:

https://transferwise.com/

So, if anyone wants to send money abroad I'd recommend it!

** No referral links, or offers to provide them, thank you **

Finally I can save that poor Nigerian prince!

I don't think you can send USD to China though which is a bummer.

Just received following message in trust:

"Please find below a message from Spook187, please note any reply to this member should be addressed to **********.

your a spammer you sad little man, get a life dweed head."

Thanks. Firstly learn to spell! It's "You're" not your! Secondly, "dweed head"? Really? How old are you? Lmao.

Reason to post was that it's actually a great site and you get a great rate, if you're looking to send money abroad it's brilliant! Which is why I posted about it, also the referral link (that was removed) would save you even more money. It would allow you to send up to £3000 abroad with no commission. We used to post maximuscle discount codes over in the sports forum is that not allowed any more?

A referral link is not the same as a discount code.

It was a money saving code, anyway no worries.

With it being a referal code though what did you get out of it?

Sorry it was the 'myprotein' referral codes not maximuscle...

Same as you do with the myprotein ones, enough people use the code and everyone wins! Anyway as I say, no biggie. Worth recommending the site anyway for the currencies they do use.

If you gain anything personally it's a referral code and that isn't allowed.

A discount code is just that and offers no benefit to the person providing it.

I use transferwise a lot since moving to the states. Sending money here is a lot easier than sending back to the UK though because of the superior banking system in the UK.

Wells Fargo wont let me do a bank transfer without going in and paying a fee.

Send me some cash, I will tell you if I get it...

Quality not quantity dear boy!

You may not have use for the information but for anyone who wants to send money abroad you'll save a packet using TransferWise compared to any other method. It's a real game changer.
