Wire money transfer fee prices estimates in different currencies!

   As always we have decided to provide our customers and mainly the new ones that have not used our transfer services before with additional information. We find it useful for You to have all detailed information you need when deciding to make an international money transfer. So here we have extracted the exact prices of wire transfers with Transfermate converted in the different currencies we support:

For Outgoing Wires In...	Wire Cost
Australia Dollars	20.09 AUD
Canada Dollars	18.85 CAD
Denmark Kroner	123.00 DKK
Euros	17.00 EUR
Hong Kong Dollars	156.00 HKD
Japan Yen	2,244.00 JPY

Switzerland Francs	22.06 CHF
United Kingdom Pounds	12.00 GBP
United States Dollars	21.00 USD

We have reached a progress of over 500% for the last 3 months!

   It may be a little bit off topic, not relevant to the finances news we usually post, but I cannot ignore this fact and I think those numbers should be available in public. After all it is more or less an advertisement. So last three days I made a balance between our expenses for advertising and the actual number of clients that have used our financial services. So it seems that we have not spent more money than we used to 2 months ago, but the totals of users that have sent money through us or have made some type of money transfer has grown more than 4 times. And the exact percentage is 540% growth without any additional Euro spent.
   I consider this fact normal having in mind that we carefully reviewed all the feedback regarding the money transactions people have made with TransferMate and had in consideration every opinion, question, trouble and testimonial from every customer. After all the Currency-select we added is a product of customers suggestions about this field in the money transfer application form. After adding this field I notice a 4% raise of the registrations for transactions. So, great work TransferMate and great work all our users. Thank you, really for the feedback and everything else! Enjoy using our financial services.

Make money when others call you skype-to-skype and use TransferMate

Sounds abstract? Yes, but only sounds like fiction. It is actually true, you can make money by receiving calls skype-to-skype with the new service launched - Skype prime. At first you would say what this has to do with finances and money transfers. You all know what it has to do with finances so I will add the spice for money transfers. After the start of this new service many questions came up and probably you'll find most of the answers on the Skype home page, but social opinion has been rising up. "Why Skype prime does not support payments by MoneyGram / MoneyBookers". Acutally it is very clear that a serious company like this does not want to do anything with such insecure cash transfers. So, unfortunately for those wanting this type of payments and fortunately for all others, including TransferMate's clients, Skype Prime does support bank-to-bank payments and you can receive your money made by incoming skype-prime calls using transfermate and other bank-to-bank transfer providers. So, Cheers, mates!

New way to contact our financial staff

Recently, if you have not noticed we decided to add one more way to contact our Transfer Mate staff regarding all money transfer/currency exchange/questionable topics and you can do this by just leaving your contact details and eventually the issue you want to get consulted about. There is no chance to miss this button, it is actually one of the two big orange buttons under the introduction of TransferMate global international money transfer services.

International Bank Transfers versus Cash Transfers: Round2

Looking through the last article in our Newsvine section about how wire transfers overseas beat the conventional cash transfers, I could not resist writing a defensive-to-offensive article about what better sides cash transfers DO have and why there could not be a competition between the two types of transaction services.

    First, let us not think of the different money transfer services like just two equal opportunities, one should choose between when needing to send money overseas. There are actually very stable purposes for each of the types one can transfer funds to exist and serve along with any other.
    1. I would say that there are different money senders with different needs. Here is a simple example. You are abroad, let us say China, you have no access to your bank account, you have no internet connection available, but you are in a desperate need to send 1500eu to the UK. So what do you do? You cannot give up, and you cannot ask for a bank branch to be opened immediately, SO here comes the abstract company "EasternUnited" with their Bureau right in front of you offering cash transfer services internationally. And that makes them the perfect and the only choice you have to get those 1500eu sent to your.. spouse in the UK. So through this first point of view "EU" gives you the freedom to make a money transfer without any formalities, which usually occur when doing a bank transfer. I guess I don't need to repeat that even you wanted to go through those formalities for a wire transaction, you cannot, just because in many cases you cannot (e.g. lack of bank branch, lack of internet, lack of terminals supporting your CC or the services you need, etc). So in this first case we have no competition too, we just have only one alternative and we use it, and we should be thankful it exists.
    2. Not only regarding clients sending money, but also concerned in this whole process of money transfer are people receiving money abroad. After all those funds must arrive somewhere? They cannot be just magically thrown in one's pocket. And okay, you will say receivers have Bank accounts and there is no problem for them to get money received there. Yes, but No. Think of you in the same situation as I described it above. Same location (China), same conditions, but this time you have to receive your 1500eu from the UK. And what do you do? Open a bank account immediately? I think not. Even if you would like to, you cannot, because opening a bank account overseas has its requirements and, in the most cases when a person is on a business trip, believe me, he does not cover them. So what you should do is go the same Bureau of the "EeasternUnited" you went in the previous section and take your money send from the UK just 5 minutes ago. Isn't it great?
    I have a few more points to discuss about this, but I would rather save them if there are/is another/more Rounds of this blog/news fight about what type of money transfers one should use.

International Bank Transfers versus Cash Transfers

It seems the guys using our services are not sleeping and have the opinion of their own about their preference when sending money abroad or respectively receiving them. In our section where anybody can send us testimonials and impressions from his experience with using TransferMate, a guy wrote a comparison between the conventional cash transfers he used to make (those transfers that involve you giving cash money in a Bureau, and the receiver taking them by hand the same way) and the international wire transfers he makes now with our company and what actually are the benefits when doing it our way. You can read the whole article about making wire transfer VS sending cash

But in my bare opinion there are different clients for the different money transfer services. In some cases it may be better to use cash transfer provider rather then making a bank transfer, just because sometimes you have no opportunity to make use of the bank services or our services.
Apart from this I personally prefer international bank transfer. I just cannot image giving my money to some people without any guarantee and clearness what , why , etc.
