Here is a clever tip to save money next time you send money to another country: don’t use your bank.
When banks transfer your money from one country to another, they’re usually slow and expensive, charging you a hefty and entirely unnecessary transfer fee.
To make matters worse, your bank will then give you a terrible exchange rate mark-up (a margin added onto the basic exchange rate you see when you google the exchange rate).
The bank’s transfer fee and horrible exchange rate mark-up mean that you’ll receive less money on the other side.
Instead, save money. Use CurrencyFair now.
