Follow this guide to make an informed decision and choose the ideal money transfer service for your international transactions, saving you time, money and hassle in the future.

  • 1. Transfer amount and frequency: To get the best deal, decide how much you want to send and how often you want to transact. This will allow you to search for service providers that have better rates and exchange rates that suit your needs. How much do you need to transfer? That’s the question we’re starting to answer! The transfer amount is the total amount of money you intend to send to your destination. It’s essential to know exactly what you’re leaving out if you’re going to pay bills or expenses or any other financial obligation on your list. Just add it up, do some math, and decide how much you should send. The easiest way I could say it is to say that it’s like making a financial plan!
    Also keep in mind the all-inclusive transfer cost; which includes taxes and also exchange rate differences, helping you decide which company offers the best value.
  • 2. Fees and Exchange Rates: Compare the fees charged by different companies in terms of their exchange rates when choosing between them, as some may have high charges but lower conversion rates, so consider the total cost involved.
  • 3. Time: How quickly would you like the money to be delivered? They may be delivered instantly, while some may take days.
  • 4. Security and Regulation: Check whether the service is regulated by a reputable government agency, such as the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or the US’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). This will ensure that your funds are protected and not opaque.
  • 5. Payment Options: Look for services that allow payment via methods such as bank transfers, credit/debit cards, or cash collections.
  • 6. Recipient options: Consider receiving payments such as direct bank deposits, cash withdrawals, or mobile wallets, among others.
  • 7. Customer support: Opt for a service that offers 24/7 customer support in multiple languages ​​and FAQs that cover all possible queries.
  • 8. Reviews and reputation: Study the reputation of each company based on independent reviews from sources such as Trustpilot or Google Reviews.
  • 9. Additional services: Some services include currency conversion, borderless accounts, or even loyalty programs.
  • 10. Promotions and discounts: Find out if there are any promotions, discounts, or loyalty programs offered by these providers that can minimize your transfer costs.

I know senior professionals who started programming around 12 to 15 years old. At 20 years old they were already very good, but not to have this power of choice. Today, at 35 years old, they already have more than 20 years of experience and knowledge and they have this power... But this is exceptional, totally out of the ordinary!

I've been working in the personal sales business for 15 years, and you've given me hope to completely change the way I've been working! I'm going to dedicate myself to the maximum and take advantage of these opportunities as soon as possible, after all, I've already dedicated a lot of time to something that didn't bring me many benefits!

Recently there was even a story about a street cleaner (garbage collector) who studied programming, posted it on LinkedIn and was hired the next day. Amazing, all you have to do is study.
