Money Transfer Services?

Transferwise (now they are just known as Wise). Been using them for a while for business/vendor payments internationally. Works well and had few minor glitches over the years. Decent FX rates even though they do charge transaction fee on top. But works for us.

I have used TransferWise, Moneygram in the past for international transfers. Good thing about these services is that they let you know in advance the conversion rates and fees which, for some reason, the banks won't let you know until the money gets transferred. I personally don't care about the fees as long as the final amount is better than what other services could offer.

Now a days I have been using skrill and have been impressed with the speed of delivery and the conversion rate. The rates are better than TranseferWise and Moneygram and some of the transfers were done in 1 day! It also allows debit card to be used without any fee which is quite convenient. Although I wonder how do they save money compared to using the ACH payment?

I’ve yet to find anything better than TransferWise (just “Wise” now, I guess), for both personal and business.

If you have multiple options (bank wire, PayPal, TransferWise, etc.), and you’ll be doing this more than once, then I recommend testing all of them with small inputs and comparing net output amount at the destination. There’s no substitute for that level of certainty.

Transferwise. They offer rates that are much closer to the exchange rate than other services in my experience.

Transferwise (Wise). If the country you're sending to is not supported, then WorldRemit.

When noting else is available: Western Union.

When the counter party agrees however, bitcoin is my go to choice.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Stripe yet. Fast and free
