Transferring your money to a secure bank account

   Many people have different sources of money earnings and different types of expenses, but in any case all of us need to pay taxes in order to avoid problems with the IRS, and tax declarations may cause you headache sometimes. That is why, along with the long-term saving plans, people like to store their money in secure bank accounts internationally. A preferable location for this purpose is Switzerland, due to the country polices which do not allow any institutions to have access to the banks customers info, balances and details. So many of our clients issued questions regarding the process of wire transfer to Switzerland.
   The thing is that there is nothing different in this case, just like you make any other standard international money transfer through Transfermate. You wire transfer the money to a 3rd party TM bank account given to you in the beginning of your process (upon registration), and Transfermate takes care to load your overseas bank account with the money you want to transact, no matter if the bank is Swiss, US, UK, or whatever it may be.

Did you know?

   Did you know that when passing many international borders it is illegal to carry an amount of money greater than defined for the specific Customs between the two countries? Yes it is. That is why you should, you must transfer the money in advance somewhere you've decided to use them abroad, especially if you are traveling on purpose to make some business payments in real-time.
   Of course there is a chance for you to pass the border with cash that exceeds the limit allowed, but be sure that tons of declarations and documents will follow for you to fill in and explain where do you have the money from, what are you planning to do with them (and therefore to pay taxes on what you're planning to do with the funds).
   Contrasting on the "cash&carry" method to move funds across international borders, the bank transfer overseas differs with the huge huge limits which require some declaration on the use of the money and the avoidance of the annoying Customs, trying to make a criminal out of you, cause if you have e.g more than EUR2000 on the German or the British border, forget to pass in or out without providing the 'nice' Customs staff all the information proving exactly where the sum is coming from and where to it is going. So, please, think reasonably, let the money fly by the wire transfer.

An impressive recovery of USD against EUR but for a while


These days there was an impressive rise of the USD against the EUR currency compensating maybe one sixth of the whole fall of the Dollar in the last 1 year. That all came as a consequence after the statement of the financial adviser Yves Mersch who stated that the economy in Europe is about to stall for a while in the next month or two or even first half of the year, but that is just a potential analysis that is not guaranteed. Anyway, the levels of the EUR in NY last week were great for the USD as it first fell from 1.4833 to 1.4755 and finally to 1.4697. But after all we are expecting a general tendency of constant fall for the USD in the next 1-2 weeks as there are many important financial events in the United States and all trader's and transferrer's attention is there.
