Re: Unforseen bank charges for money transfer

If you want to transfer CHF to USD, it will work, but your mom needs to hold a USD account, rather than in the local currency ( PEN )

The rates that I received for USD/EUR to INR were not competitive. You could lose more that 50USD in that process.

ABN in NL charges between 25 to 50 Euro per transaction for foreign transfers.
Hi and thank you, my mom has a USD account.

About ABN I am afraid your info is not correct. They charge me 5-15 EUR for a transfer to Peru, I have to check the transfer is made in USD though otherwise the bank in Peru will give me a lousy rate.
This 5 transfer charge is if you do the transfer online, if you go to the bank and have somebody do the transfer it will be 15 EUR.
I know because until September I was making the transfer from ABN to Lima..
