What’s the cheapest way to transfer money abroad in 2021?
In life, it’s nice when things aren’t expensive. From holidays to healthcare to groceries, we all love getting a good deal.
It’s the same with money transfers. One of the worst feelings is going into your bank to send money abroad, and discovering that there are large commission fees to send your money to your loved ones. When this happens, you can see your hard-earned money disappearing before your very eyes!
If you’re an expat, no matter where in the world you are you want to find the cheapest way to send money abroad.
Here are three tricks for finding the cheapest way to transfer money in 2021:
Comparison websites
These are perfect when you want to find out about different providers from an expert source. On comparison websites you’ll often be told how much transfers will cost, so you can decide which is the best for you.

Money transfer calculators
