Below you’ll find my guides to some of the services I’ve used and researched, along with practical advice on transferring money abroad.

How I Used Wise For My International Payment Transfers

International Money Transfers
Whether you’re buying a property, paying for a renovation, receiving rental income or simply moving your savings overseas, choosing the right way to transfer money is worth looking into before you make a large payment.
My tip: Don’t automatically use your regular bank for a large international transfer. Compare the exchange rate, fees and the amount that will actually arrive in your destination currency.
