These days, there are plenty more options for sending money abroad. Traditionally, sending an international money transfer has been costly — especially when sending with a high-street bank. But today’s modern options are often faster, just as secure and don’t have to cost you an arm and a leg! 

While nowadays cheaper, it’s still important to investigate the charges for moving money abroad. Other things you’ll want to consider are the speed of your transfer, safety and security, plus much more. Read on for insider tips so you can make an informed decision the next time you need to send money abroad. 

<div data-comp="signup"></div>

## 1. What are the fees to watch out for? 
The main fees associated with international money transfers that you need to be aware of are:

- current exchange rate
- fixed transfer fees
- commission fees
- intermediary bank fees 
- receiving fees 

### Current exchange rate
This is the rate at which one currency will be converted to another. A quick internet search will uncover plenty of live exchange rates and conversion tools, some of which are updated within seconds. Still, keep in mind that the exchange rate is constantly changing. So it’s best to check this right before you’re ready to send to get as close of a real-time figure as possible. Knowing this rate will help you see when you’re getting the best deal when choosing a money transfer service. 

If sending with Monese, you can plug in amounts on our [Money Transfers](https://monese.com/money-transfers "International money transfer – send money safely for less") page or right in your app to compare. However, the rate may change when you actually send. We’ll update this figure with the real-time conversion rate before confirming your mobile money transfer.   

### Fixed transfer fees 
This is the fee that a bank or international money transfer app will charge you for using their service. These fees can vary significantly from one service provider to another, so it pays to shop around. 

### Commission fees 
On top of a fixed sending fee, some providers also charge a commission on top of transfer fees. This is usually the case when sending with larger firms and larger amounts of money. 

### Intermediary bank fees 
There may also be an intermediary bank fee, which is the amount charged by a third-party bank that acts as the middleman when facilitating a money transfer between two institutions. These can be paid by either the sender or the receiver. 

### Receiving fees 
There may be a charge for receiving the money, such as accepting it into a bank account. This is a fee worth investigating, too, so you’re clear on everything you may be charged for.

<br/><br/>
At Monese, we believe in no hidden fees. If you know you’ll be making plenty of international money transfers regularly, you may want to sign up for our Premium [plan](https://monese.com/pricing "Our pricing"). On this plan, foreign currency transfers to non-Monese accounts are free. On all our other plans, you’ll pay a fee of 0.5–2%, depending on which plan you’re on (although Monese to Monese transfers are always free, no matter the currency). The foreign exchange rates will of course still apply to all plans.  

## 2. How do I find the cheapest international money transfer service? 
The best way to find the cheapest international money transfer service is to do your research and compare. It’ll depend greatly on the amount you’re sending. Plus, the cheapest way could also change over time. A quick internet search will uncover plenty of live comparison tools you can use. 

Traditional transfer services may be more expensive than more modern options and expat money transfer services nowadays. Most international money transfer apps have a currency converter screen. This will show you a breakdown of what the recipient will get depending on how much you send, which should help you compare and make your choice.  

## 3. Where can I send money?
You can make an international money transfer to virtually anyone, anywhere in the world, depending on the service or bank you choose. With [Monese](https://monese.com/money-transfers "Use our international money transfer tool to see what you’ll get for your money based on your plan"), for example, you can send EUR, GBP or RON to more than 30 countries, including electronic money transfers to Europe and SEPA countries. Here are just some of our most popular countries and currencies we support: 

- pound sterling (£) → [US](https://monese.com/blog/send-money-us "How to send money to the US") dollar ($)
- pound sterling (£) → euro (€)
- euro (€) → Romanian leu (RON)

## 4. How do I make an international money transfer? 
Once you’ve settled on an international money transfer service, sending money in another currency should be simple. You’ll usually need the recipient's account details if it’s a bank transfer, including their name, account number and bank code and in some cases, their residential address.  

If sending with Monese, you can make an international money transfer straight from your phone. You'll need to add a new payee if it's your first time sending money to the recipient from your app. Then choose what currency you want to send from the list of currencies and countries available in the app. We'll save your contact's information and account details in the app, so you don't have to fill their details in again the next time you make an international money transfer to them. 

For thorough, step-by-step guides for sending to specific countries, check out our [Money Transfers](https://monese.com/blog-list?cat=money-transfers "Latest articles") blog series.

## 5. How long will my international money transfer take? 
Generally, international money transfers can take anywhere between 1 and 5 working days. Some international money transfer services and banks offer same-day transfers, but these can cost you extra. If you aren’t in a hurry, waiting a few days could save you money. If you do need to send money abroad on the same day, just make sure you do so before their cutoff time.  

When sending money outside the UK or EEA with Monese, the actual delivery time for a mobile money transfer may sometimes vary. It’ll depend on the processing times of the receiving bank and the country you’re sending to. Typically though, it’s between 2 to 4 working days. This timeframe can be longer if you’re sending on weekends or bank holidays, so keep this in mind. 

## 6. What are the limitations of international money transfers? 
Limits around how much money you can send abroad and how often vary from company to company. Some services could have per-day, month, week or even yearly limits to how much you can send internationally. To learn about specific transfer limits at Monese for [GBP](https://monese.com/gb/en/fees-and-limits/fee-and-limits-information "UK Personal Fees and Limits"), [RON](https://monese.com/gb/en/fees-and-limits/fee-and-limits-information?version=2021-01-19&type=personal&jurisdiction=Rom%C3%A2n%C4%83 "Română Personal Fees and Limits") and [EUR](https://monese.com/fees-and-limits "Fees and Limits") accounts, check out our [Fees and Limits](https://monese.com/fees-and-limits "Fees and Limits") page.  

## 7. Are international money transfers safe?
Generally, yes — but it’s essential to do some checks first. Safety and security are paramount to assess when it comes to sending large amounts of your hard-earned money abroad. 

Say you've finally found an expat or migrants money transfer service you trust. In that case, it's important to check if they're regulated by an official regulatory body, such as the [Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)](https://www.fca.org.uk/ "FCA Homepage") in the UK. This should give you extra peace of mind knowing that your money is protected because your money is kept separate from company funds. 

If you’re still unsure about an international money transfer service you’re trying out for the first time, try sending a smaller amount of money first to make sure it arrives with no hiccups.

If you’re wondering how to send money to someone in Switzerland, we explain how you can do just that straight from your Monese app. 

While many people are barred from entering the US due to coronavirus travel restrictions, it doesn’t mean your money can’t make it there! We provide a fast and secure [money transfer](https://monese.com/money-transfers) service so you can send money to the US quickly and usually for less than when sending with traditional banks.

### How do I use the money transfer service? 
It’s easy! Simply open your app and head to the Payments section. From here, follow these three simple steps:

Whether you're looking to send a one-off payment or you want to send money abroad to family in Poland regularly, it doesn't matter. You'll need a service that's entirely transparent and fee-friendly. There’s no need for you to spend more than you actually should.

In this part of our [Money Transfer series](https://monese.com/blog/money-transfers), we give you a step-by-step guide on how to send a transfer to Poland quickly and inexpensively. 

<div data-comp="signup"></div>

### Send money to Poland

Sending money to Poland in Polish zloty (PLN) has never been easier. You can do it straight from your Monese app with just a few taps, no matter where you are. If you prefer to check the live rates first, you can do so right on your Monese app under the Pay section (tap: Send money globally).

To send the transfer, follow these four simple steps:

__Step 4:__ Confirm your payment.

The transfer may be cheaper in comparison to traditional banks and also faster! Usually, the recipient should receive the money the following day; however, bear in mind that it can also depend on the receiving bank (along with possible security checks) and may take up to a few days.

At Monese, we’re all about speed, transparency and making sure your money is always 100% secure. If you need to send an international transfer, you want something reliable, free of hidden fees, and of course, a service with excellent currency exchange rates.
You can now depend on Monese for all this when sending money to Canada. That’s right! Turn those euros or pounds into Canadian dollars quickly with our highly dependable international money transfer service. Read on to learn how you can make the most of this feature right on your Monese app.

<div data-comp="signup"></div>

### How to get started

No matter where you live, to quickly send Canadian dollars (CAD) to the Great White North with your Monese app at any time, follow these easy steps: 

- Go to the Pay tab and choose the person or company you want to pay, or add a new one.
- Type in the amount you want to send.
- If you’re sending money to someone new, you’ll receive a code by SMS to authenticate your transfer. 

You can check the live currency exchange rates on the Payments section of the app.

### Time is money 

Our global money transfers arrive quicker than most traditional international bank transfers. If you want to ensure your CAD transfer gets there on the same business day, send the money before 10:30 am (UK time). 

However, it’s important to account for bank holidays in Canada, additional checks on our end or even processing times from the receiving bank. In these cases, your transfer could take up to four business days to arrive in the other account, so don’t panic. It’s on its way!

### We speak your language
In our mission to offer a locally smart and globally connected service, we’re happy to announce that we speak Canada’s two official languages - English and French! So if you’re a Canadian expat abroad needing to send money back home and want to talk to us in your native language, you can do so! You can also set your Monese app to the language you prefer:

- Use your Monese account in English or French, across both our iOS and Android apps.
- Get help from our Support Team in both languages and across all our channels. 
- To give it a try, open your Monese app and go to Account Settings Language.

Please note that you can only open a Monese account if you’re living in the European Economic Area (EEA), so this does not include Canada itself. However, we hope to be able to support the Canadian community all across Europe and look forward to seeing how you will use this new feature.

### But that’s not all...
There are plenty of other great features in your Monese app that you can use daily to help you manage your money. Here are a few (but by no means is it an exhaustive list):

- Move money between EUR and GBP accounts for free, at any time, whenever you need.
- Still waiting for someone to pay you back before you can send money home? Not to worry! You can request payments from friends straight from the app and keep track of it in your transaction feed. 
- You can also send, request and receive payments even faster between Monese accounts. It’s instant and absolutely free!

We’re working hard to help you send money abroad quickly and at great rates. We’re currently exploring more countries and currencies, so stay tuned! In the meantime, if you have any questions about your international transfers, feel free to reach out to our Customer Support team via email: [support@monese.com](mailto:support@monese.com).

You can now use your Monese app to send Brazilian Real (BRL) to Brazil whenever you need to, no matter where you are. Straight from your phone and within a few taps, you can get a fast international transfer at much lower rates than what traditional banks can charge.

Your transfer should arrive quicker than most traditional banks, too – if you send the money before 10:30am (UK time), it should arrive in the receiving account on the same business day! Just keep in mind that if the receiving bank takes a bit longer to process it, or if there are any additional checks that need to be done on either end, the transfer could take a few extra days.

It’s very easy to set up a transfer and you can do it straight from your app, from any of your Monese accounts. If you need to check the live rates, you can do so on out website ([Transfer money to Brazil](https://monese.com/gb/en/money-transfers/brazil "Send money to Brazil")) or in the “Payments” section of the app.

Speaking of our app – you’ve now got a cleaner, clearer, more streamlined design for the currency conversion screen.

## Making the most of Monese
You can naturally use these transfers in combination with the many other features available in your app. For example:

- If you get your salary paid into your Monese account, you can set up a [recurring payment](https://monese.com/eu/blog/2018/11/make-regular-transfers-with-recurring-payments "Make regular transfers with recurring payments") to go out a day later, to any of the supported countries and currencies.
- Or if you’re still waiting for someone to pay you back before you can send money home, you can [request](https://monese.com/eu/blog/2019/03/request-payments "Request payments") it straight from the app and keep track of it in your transaction feed!
- And if you want to use Monese in the Portuguese language, then you can do that too! That includes talking to our support team in Portuguese, no matter where you live.

How to send money to Turkey

<p>We’re building a new kind banking service, that makes it easier for you to live, study, work, travel or retire anywhere in the world. A big part of this mission is giving you the ability to send money abroad, quickly and at great rates, from just a few taps on your phone. And sending money to Romania has always been very popular with Monese customers!</p>
<p>So if you want to avoid paying more than you should, with our mobile app you have access to one of the fastest and lowest-cost ways to do this. You’ll always get the real exchange rate and completely transparent pricing (based on the <a href="https://monese.com/pricing">plan</a> you choose), without any of the hidden markups and fees that banks and other providers can charge.
</p>
<p>With this in mind, we’re kicking off a new series of posts specifically focused on international transfers, giving you tips and tricks on how you can make the most of it...
</p>
<p><br></p>
<h3>How to get started with money transfers to Romania
</h3>
<p>We’ve supported this for a good while now, but we know how important it is for you to send money faster, so we’ve been working on improving the transfer times.
</p>
<p>If you need to send Romanian Lei (RON) to Romania, from any of your Monese accounts, you can do it right from your Monese app. If you need to check the live rates, you can do so on our website (<a href="https://monese.com/international-money-transfer/transfer-money-to-romania">Transfers to Romania</a>), or in the ‘Payments’ section of the app.
</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Then just follow these simple steps:
</p>
<ul><li>Select the person or company you want to pay, or add a new one
</li><li>Type in the amount you want to send
</li><li>If you’re sending money to someone new, you’ll need to authenticate the transfer by typing in a code you’ll receive by SMS
</li></ul>
<h3>It’s all about the timing
</h3>
<p>Now, if you want to make sure your RON transfer gets there as quickly as possible, make sure you send the money before 11:45am GMT – if you do, it could reach the receiving account on the same business day!
</p>
<p>Mind you, there’s a lot that goes on in the background with these, so it could still take up to 4 business days for the money to show up in the other account. This could be due to a variety of reasons – like bank holidays in any of the countries or additional checks we sometimes have to do – but most importantly it depends on how quickly the receiving bank processes it.
</p>
<p><br></p>
<h3>Coming up next
</h3>
<p>Stay tuned for more on this, as we explore more countries and currencies you can make transfers to, as well as more tips on how you can make the most of payments with your Monese app.
