How can i recieve transfer of money from America to the Netherlands?
I don't have Rabobank but do have ABN Amro and we send money abroad to my husband's family (we have been building a house there). Paypal is an option but it is slow





Western Union is actually more expensive than a bank-to-bank transfer (at least for the values that we were sending anyway).





So we sent it via internet banking - bank to bank. Get her to check with her bank what details they need - likely she will need your account number, location, holder's name, IBAN and BIC codes (usually on your statements)

Reply:Ask her to check with her bank a few things first. What they recommend being the fastest and also safest way. Also look into the fees involved. I was going to send money to Germany to pay for an ebay auction I won. The transaction fee is set buy the amount of money to be sent and for the $100.00 my bank said there was a $50.00 fee. At the time my bank charge $50.00 up to the first $1000 sent. I sent cash and took a chance on not getting lost in mail and also seller being honest when it was received. All worked out for me there.


As for paypal sometime theres a week for things to clear internationaly and also a small fee involved but not like my bank was charging. I trust paypal and have used them for years both in America and now internationaly. My last paypal transaction issued a E-check took 5 days to clear but that might be how the business was sent up to recieved payments too.


Western Unions are all over if you have access to one and she does too? again ask about the fees nothing is free anymore well almost nothing is free.


What ever you choice please post back to help others that might be looking to do the same.


I hope I have helped in some way with ideas. That is the positive thing about the internet ... at times answers can be found



Reply:Your best bet would be to look into some sort of money transfer company like western union or something that works for international transactions. Do you have PayPal? If you have your bank info it's not hard to set up.
