There are much swifter, easier ways to send money around the world – and between currencies – just by using a Foreign Exchange specialist.  These are highly professional, slick brokers which offer the best exchange rates at the time of transfer.  Call centres are non-existent as each account holder speaks directly to a broker.  This is a comfort especially given that in many cases one is sending a large sum of money – therefore security and knowledge of a good service are key elements.
