Many of us send money abroad for var.o. alt='search this word'>r.o./a>us reasons. Anything from emigrating; purchasing a holiday home; paying a mortgage or covering monthly business costs, we do this through the obvious vehicle - our bank. The disappointing factor with this choice is we lose money every time we do this, either through bank charges such as transfer fees or through poor foreign exchange rates. Naturally we all trust our bank to handle financial matters, but we don’t consider.o. alt='search this word'>r.o./a>ther.o. alt='search this word'>r.o./a>ptions for transferring funds abroad, most probably because we aren’t aware of the benefits of using a specialist foreign exchange provider.
For those who are aware of the charges from the bank and negotiate a better deal; need to consider that banks are often prepared to waive their fee or charges because they can make a substantial profit on offering a poor foreign exchange rate. So however you look at it the banks make money and you lose money on international transfers, the larger the transfer, the more you have to lose.
