Transfer money to USA !!
Answer
9/1/04 6:03 PM
Dear GC´s,

I want help from you very urgently.

We discussed about sending money to India before a week or so. Now I want to transfer a few hundred euros/dollars to my friend in USA. Can someone suggest the best (cheapest) possibility? Should I bear the charges here, or my friend in USA? Should I do it in Euros or Dollars?

Thanx in advance.

Dear Fred,
For sure I dont have the cheapest alternative. I have been Using Western Union and the Post office´but I think they are all expensive.
Dear GCs please advise transfer of money also to other countries say in Africa, in case you have had experience on this.

Thank you!

Dear Detlef,

U r right.. even I thought of advicing same thing. It is very cheap though.. they will charge very less.. suppose if u want to send money to ur friend in USA(US $) with ur credit card or bank account.. u will be charged only 1 % of the total amount... it is cheaper and highly secured way to send money.

Hi Detlef & VSK,

Thanx for the recommendation. I saw in the PayPal site that they charge 2.5% for currency conversion. Moreover the exchange rate is $1.18 whereas the market rate is $1.22 for 1 Euro !

Fred,

just one thing: if you use your credit card (VISA or MasterCard), it will be YOUR bank that will be doing the currency conversion, so no PayPal fees/rates would apply.
Moreover, the exchange rate used by VISA (don't know for MC) is the one published by Financial Times on the day of settlement (at least used to be some 10 years ago when I worked at a bank).

So, go for it.
