Sending money abroad

Hi - I've recently started a job where theres a requirement to pay fees regularly in foreign currencies. Any tips for how to do this quickly and cheaply? We are currently doing inter bank transfers but they are so expensive. Main currencies are in USD and Euros -thanks for any help!:eek:

What is the background to this ? Sending money to African countries ?

Be very careful: this sounds like a Scam to me!

This screams scam. Real jobs do not require people to find their own ways to transfer cash internationally.

Have a quick read of the scamwarners.com website for many, many examples of this scam. If you proceed, AT BEST you will end up overdrawn, AT WORST facing money laundering charges also. Proceed with EXTREME CAUTION and please feel free to post the job spec here for verification. These scammers prey on the poorest people most desperate for a job and will ruin them without a blink.

I would agree with the other posters. You see them from the moving cash through accounts in the UK through to some other account, technically laundering, so be careful.

Move to your question, what currency are you being charged in? It makes a difference, otherwise by an FX pre-paid card and pay it on there. That way, no one cleans your account out when you send your account details and BIC/SWIFT code abroad.
