💸 Money Transfer

International transfers at the real exchange rate, with the fee shown before you send — a reliable option for moving money between India and abroad. About Wise: Wise (formerly TransferWise) is an international money transfer service known for using the real mid-market exchange rate rather than adding a hidden markup, showing the exact fee upfront before you commit to a transfer. Key Features: Real Exchange Rate: Uses the actual mid-market rate, not an inflated rate with a hidden margin. Upfront Fee Display: See exactly what you'll pay and what the recipient will get before sending. Multi-Currency Support: Send and hold money in multiple currencies through one account. Fast Transfers: Many transfers complete within a day or two, sometimes faster. How to Get Started: Create a Wise account online or through the app. Verify your identity as required for international transfers. Enter the transfer amount and destination to see the exact fee and exchange rate. Send the transfer and track its progress until the recipient receives funds. Important Notice: While Wise is reliable for many corridors, always double-check current transfer times and any limits specific to sending money to or from India, as these can change and are subject to Indian foreign exchange regulations.

The widest cash-pickup network in the world — useful where the recipient has no bank account, with locations across India. About Western Union: Western Union is one of the longest-established international money transfer services, known especially for its extensive cash pickup network, letting recipients collect funds without needing a bank account. Key Features: Extensive Pickup Network: One of the widest networks of physical pickup locations globally, including throughout India. No Bank Account Needed: Recipients can collect cash directly, useful where banking access is limited. Online and In-Person Sending: Send transfers either through the app/website or at a physical Western Union location. Established Trust: A long operating history gives it wide recognition and trust across generations of users. How to Get Started: Send a transfer either online through the Western Union app/website or at a physical location. Provide the recipient's exact name as it appears on their ID. Complete the transfer and note the reference number (MTCN). Share the MTCN with the recipient so they can collect the funds at an agent location in India. Important Notice: Fees for cash pickup transfers can be higher than some digital-only alternatives — compare costs if the recipient does have a bank account and a digital option would work instead.
