Re: Money transfer UK to USA
With wise I get an option transfer by wire or use the free method (I forget the acronym). The free method takes longer by a business day or 2, or longer if Federal holidays intervene.
ETA the free method is called ACH (Automated Clearing House) which would be Wise sending money from their US bank to your US bank. |

Re: Money transfer UK to USA
I'm need to do the same, as my sister is about to transfer some funds from her bank, either into my TSB UK, or direct to my B of A account. Could anyone help with details on a 'safe' sign up link to transferwise or similar company as I'm hearing there are some scam links out there!!
Thanks. |

Thanks for your quick response MidAtlantic. Something else I forgot to mention in my previous post was that a few years ago a London based family used to send me a 'cash' payment for caretaking their vacation home. I used to pick it up from the money centre at Walmart, and always the full amount owed in cash. Would that be a more 'expensive' way to send funds?
