A Guide To Transferring Money Overseas: Safe Money

By Jerry Wallace


You could be living in two completely countries and need to send money overseas to those you care about, or even for workplace relations. Nowadays transferring money is made simple. Even if you live in the USA and need to send cash to Nigeria, this is possible and can be done quite quickly. But you need to remember a few steps to have Safe Money.

This is an obvious one, but you need to have the recipient s details. When you enter it into the system, make sure you check it to see if it is correct over and over until you are completely sure. The problem here is that if you mistakenly enter the wrong digit, because it was a mistake and not a case of fraud, the banks or online platforms will not reverse the amount back to you.

The one way you can save cash during the transfer is to check the currency rates. There will be times when it will drop really low and there are also times when it is high and may be too much for you to pay. If you are not in a hurry to do the transfer, it is best to rather wait until the markets are in your favour so that you spend less and save more.

Every financial institute works differently but, in most cases, they usually will not send cash on a weekend or public holiday. And it normally takes one to three days for the amount to reflect in the recipient s account. So, if you are doing this in a case of emergency, it is best to plan your days properly and to potentially do this well in advance to avoid delays.

For every transfer you make, there is a fee that you will be forced to pay. This is usually in the terms and conditions, but it applies to everyone. To ensure this goes through, make sure there is enough cash in your account. There are some places who will put your transfer on hold because the fees are not paid. You may want to find out what the amounts are, so you can plan for it.

When choosing a bank or institution to use, be sure to decide on one that offers to be responsible for the transfer. This is basically an insurance. What happens is they will watch the cash go through from your account to the next person, and they will be liable to make sure it s safe through its journey. If something happens, they will cover you for a certain amount, if not pay back the entire amount.

If you don t want to do this by yourself, you can always opt for a broker. They basically play the middleman between the sender and the receiver. And the transfer is done by them, not the sender. The reason for this is that many brokers don t charge fees, only their regular upfront cost, and their pace is super-fast. So how you would normally wait for one to three days, the can have it wired for immediate reflection.

This is quite an easy task to do, you just need to make sure you are aware of everything that could possibly go wrong so that you can protect yourself.
