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.

One of the most useful comparison websites is top10moneytransfer.com.

Money transfer calculators

Most online money transfer companies will help you understand the costs of their transfers - as well as how much your recipient will receive - by having money transfer calculators on their website. From these, you can figure out which are the cheapest digital transfers.

Trustpilot reviews

What better way to decide on what’s the best transfer method for you than hearing it from other customers? Sites like Trustpilot let you hear from people who have tried out international money transfers from different providers, and so they’re really useful when you don’t know which to choose.

Reviews on Trustpilot often talk about the price of transfers, and so they can help you work out which provider is the cheapest.

International money transfer: zero fee and a special rate offer on your first transfer

Sending money abroad shouldn't mean queuing in a bank branch and filling out forms with codes you may never have heard of. An international money transfer moves your money from your account, card, or wallet in the US to someone else's account, card, or wallet in another country, and, above all, it should be simple, transparent, and reliable enough that you don't have to think twice about it.

Whether you're supporting family back home, paying for something abroad, or sending a gift for a birthday you can't be there for in person, the reason you're sending matters more than the mechanics. If you're new to Paysend, your first transfer comes with zero fee and a special exchange rate, so more of what you send actually arrives, and we'll show you how to claim it.

Знакомьтесь: Павел Штих — помогает чешским и словацким читателям отправлять деньги домой

Каждый месяц тысячи людей, работающих в Чехии, отправляют часть зарплаты домой — многие из них украинцы, поддерживающие семью по ту сторону границы. И привычный путь усложняет то, что должно быть простым: банковские переводы, требующие IBAN и SWIFT-коды, комиссии, которые становятся видны только после того, как деньги уже ушли, и дни ожидания, пока кто-то дома рассчитывает на этот перевод.

Павел Штих уже несколько лет помогает своим читателям решать именно эту проблему. Он сооснователь и главный финансовый редактор Moneyo.cz — независимой чешской платформы, которая сравнивает сервисы денежных переводов, брокеров и альтернативные инвестиции, — а также амбассадор Paysend: это значит, что он лично тестирует всё, что рекомендует, объясняет это простым языком и даёт своим читателям эксклюзивные бонусы. Мы спросили его, как появился Moneyo, кто его читает и почему он выбрал Paysend.
