Message: [QUOTE="uconNYC, post: 3496769, member: 1259"] Honestly there are no ideal options and you're bound to lose a nice chunk of cash on fees and exchange rates. I use Transferwise as its easy and the rates tend to be the most competitive. Usually the likes of WU, MoneyGram are the worst options - that's why they target migrant workers and are all over poor neighborhoods. Best is for FIL to get a exact quote from his local bank on what the exchange rate will be and the transfer fees so there are no surprises. If he does a lot of business with the bank then he can even negotiate a few fractions of a percent on the exchange rate and have them waive or discount the transfer fees. By the way - not the best time to send money as the US Dollar is quite strong. [/QUOTE]
