Sending money internationally?

I use Azimo often and it works very well, gives good rates and costs £1.49 per transfer.

Throwing another into the mix

I use 'XE' monthly to send my folks in South Africa some money to contribute towards their live in carers - exchange rates and fees appear to be on par with Azimo it seems.

Bear in mind the receiving bank may also charge a fee - my folks bank charge/take off R100 (like £5) so factor that into your transfer

I Use these, https://www.currenciesdirect.com/en/

I might sign up to wise actually - just checked and a transfer of £1000 to euros gets e1139 with currencied direct vs e1181 - that's quite a bit better!

What this thread seems to show is that a lot of people on this forum are sending money all over the place!

I've used Moneygram via the Postoffice to send cash to a friend in Russia a few times. Can't remember what the fee was, but it requires a reference number and I.D so fairly secure i guess.

I'm British, living in Germany, and working for a company in America. It comes with the territory.
