Any comebacks on a swift payment made within the EU?

Options
Hi,

I wish to send a company a swift payment in Germany of a considerable amount of money. Is there anything protecting me if things dont go right?

Is there any way of doing this so i am proected and can claim the money back?

Or should i pay the extra and use paypal ?

Thanks for looking!
Any thoughts be helpful.

    Once you make a Euro or International Moneymover payment abroad then that's it - it cannot be recalled.

    What sums are talking about here?
  • Around £2,500 ish is there no way to get it protected?

    What are you trying to do?

    Businesses can draw up Letters of credit etc but I think this is not viable in your case as this sounds like a one off personal transaction.

    No chance you could get a cheap flight to Germany with the cash in your hand if you are wary of sending the money first before you get whatever you are ordering?
