How to transfer a large amount of money

We all dream of having lots of money so that we can do what we want, whenever we want.

Holiday in the Mediterranean? Sure.

New car? Yes please.

The latest pair of trainers? No sweat.

Although it may not seem like it, there are some problems with having large amounts of money - especially if you want to send it abroad.

This is because sending a large amount of money abroad with your bank will expose you to high fees, which are often a percentage of the amount you’re trying to send.

For example, if you’re sending £2000 abroad to a friend or family member, you might expect to pay 7% of the amount as a bank fee. We can all agree that we’d rather not pay £140 as a transfer fee for this transfer!

Plus, when you transfer large amounts of money with your bank, you need to be aware of poor exchange rates. The exchange rate they offer might be up to 5% off what the real rate is. And you can guess where those hidden charges go - right into the bank’s pocket!

How can I transfer a large amount of money with low fees?

The safest way to steer clear of high fees when you’re sending a large amount of money abroad is by choosing a specialist money transfer provider that has low, flat fees for its international transactions.

Believe it or not, there are some very handy money transfer companies that charge a flat fee, no matter how you want to send abroad. Paysend is one of these money transfer companies.

Plus, Paysend offers excellent, competitive exchange rates, so you won’t be losing out with hidden fees.

Meet Pavel Štich: Helping Czech and Slovak readers send money home

Every month, thousands of people working in the Czech Republic send part of their payday home — many of them Ukrainians supporting family across the border. And the traditional route makes it harder than it should be: bank wires that ask for IBANs and SWIFT codes, fees that only show up after the money's gone, and days of waiting while someone at home is counting on it.

Pavel Štich has spent years helping his readers solve exactly that. He's Co-Founder and Lead Financial Editor at Moneyo.cz, an independent Czech platform that compares money transfer services, stock brokers, and alternative investments — and a Paysend Ambassador, which means he tests what he recommends, explains it plainly, and brings his readers reader-only perks. We asked him how Moneyo started, who reads it, and why he chose Paysend.
