International money transfer guide for family assistance
If you have family living abroad and need to provide them with financial assistance, you can use a money transfer provider to help save you money and set up a regular payment process. You can expect to be able to make savings compared to using your mainstream bank on both the exchange rate and possible fees. If this is a recurring payment, a money transfer provider can help automate this process and save you time as well.
Sending money to children who study abroad
Many children studying abroad are unable to earn income and need support both for their living expenses and tuition. Setting up recurring payments for living expenses and paying for tuition directly can all be accommodated very easily by using a trusted money transfer provider.
Assistance for elderly family members
Elderly family members often need extra support. In some cases funds need to be sent extra fast for an emergency or an unexpected additional bill.
Sending money for healthcare
Healthcare payments can become very costly and often family members unfortunately need to receive treatment in an overseas country as that is the best location for the care. In cases where the country is not home to either the family member or the sender, money transfer providers can help make the process of paying for the bills much easier.
Remitting funds to family members back home
One of the most common reasons for sending money overseas, particularly at smaller levels, are remittance streams to family members in the sender’s home country. There are many methods to send these funds and large differences exist in the costs of sending these monies. We strongly suggest considering a variety of money transfer providers for these transactions compared to using a traditional bank.
