Cheaper Cash Transfer to India?

Post by shar.35 » Sat Aug 27, 2011 6:07 pm

I have tried Western Union, Money Gram and Bank wire transfers to send money home. I wanted to know if there was a cheaper way to send money to India??

Not really immigration-related, but I´ll give you a hint (if this is not deleted by moderators later):

There´s a way to send money worldwide, free of charge!

I don´t want to/cannot advertise for a specific bank, so I won´t. But google for the following:

There are banks (I know of some in Germany, possibly the same offer exists elsewhere?), which offer FREE accounts with FREE Visa-cards, which allow FREE worldwide withdrawals (exchange-rate at daily mean, no markup :!: ).

These banks make their money with other products, so just use this isolated product.

Once you have the VISA-card, give it to the person you want to send money to.

You can then transfer money to this account (and check it via internet), and tell the person at the other end when and how much (s)he can withdraw from any ATM worldwide.

Tadaa: You sent your money, absolutely FREE, no bureaucracy (after the initial bureaucracy), no fees, no queues, no corruption, no bribes... :)
