Any recommendations on a service I can use that isn't paypal to send money to the USA? TorFX seems to have good reviews and no fees which is a win.
I've used Wise (formerly TransferWise) for international transfers a couple of times. They use "mid market" exchange rates so tend to be on the cheaper side as far as total loss of value on a transfer (fees + exchange rate losses).
Admittedly it's been a couple of years since I last looked around at these services though!
I'll take a look at their rates. Thanks.
Yeah, my brother uses Wise for all transfers in/out of the US. It's a fairly popular option for larger amounts
