Sending money home is a useful directory of wire transfer methods that work for different source and destination countries.

Cash Offices

Western Union is an example of a cash office, where money is transferred to someone without using the Internet. This is useful when the sending and/or receiving party doesn't have a bank account.

Are Wire Transfers Safe?

According to CurrencySource, the safest way to transfer money is from one bank to another. For other kinds of transfers such as online transfers, always use a reputable online transferring method instead of one you rarely hear of.

Misconceptions

There are some people who believe online transfers are not safe, but it depends on which transfer method you are using. Reputable companies that use SSL encryption in the login sessions are often the safest ones.

Warning

There are usually fees involved in making wire transfers. Always make sure you know which fees you are being charged and which fees the receiving party will be charged so you know how much money will reach its destination.
