International Money Transfer

a day ago by dudesss to c/buycanadian

I was using Remitbee, but now I have some doubts about them since:

GoDaddy domain, X socials link.

Maybe they are ok, but are there other recommendations? I know credit unions and personal banks will do transfers. Maybe those are better rates?

Interac e-transfer is like 1.50 per transaction.

Looking into transfer to another currency in a foreign bank. I don't think Interac E-transfer does this. Or does it?

I've sent an e-transfer to the Philippines.

Looks like they partnered with MasterCard and National Bank for this

Do I need an account with NationalBank?

Yeesh. I did remitly for a b&b last week. The sheer amount of info they wanted was insane. Interac is so much easier!

Maybe consider just PayPal?

I'm trying to avoid PayPal as well.

I worry it's gonna be a toss-up for you: remitly and them need like 20 pieces of exact information, where PayPal needs

...an email.

If you're standing on principle, I admire you; and I admire a resolve that is greater than mine by far. I prioritize the money getting there quickly, easily, and reliably, and only then will I care about who and how.

I've been using wise.com for years and have been pretty happy with it. I'm sure there is better somewhere, but their fees are way lower than a bank and they've been reliable.

Same, including multiple currencies while traveling. Decently simple processes.
