Which are the most efficient, fast, affordable, and secure ways to send money to India from any country around the globe?
Bank Transfer
You can use your local banking services to transfer money to an account in India. Bank transfers will require your personal information, such as your name or address, the financial institution where the money is being sent and the IBAN or SWIFT code of the recipient bank.
Wire Transfer
As the sender, you will need to visit an institution such as a bank or other agencies like Western Union or Remit2India, to send the money. Similarly, the institution will require information about the recipient and their bank or another facility. After the money is sent, the receiver sends a message to the receiving institution. However, the process might take a few days.
Money Transfer Apps
Using this method, you can choose from many available payment options, including credit, debit cards, bank transfers, Apple or Android pay, etc. If your recipient has a bank account, you may send the money directly to their account, although if they don’t, you may send it via cash pickup or through mobile payment.
