| Can anyone tell me the best way to transfer money from Canada to Switzerland - ie my old saving. I am not really sure if the cheapest way to do it would be a international bank transfer, or trying to open a canadian account that is affiliated with my swiss bank or something(???)
How did you do it? and if you did - was it very expensive? | |

Hi Andrew
When I receive funds from the states, it comes in the form of an international bank transfer. Sure, there are two (sometimes three) institutions that crop their $20 off the top for their "expenses"... but is arrives quick and is a sure thing.
Last transfer didn't go through within 6 days, I informed the sender and they asked their bank. There was a failure in the entire system that day, that hour and my money didn't make it. It did the second time, without any expenses deducted!
One bit of friendly advice,
DO NOT USE PAYPAL !! Those that have been here a while know why. If you are interested, then search this forum.
If you plan to change to CHF, don't forget about the conversion rates.
Good luck
Scott
