Free options for international money transfers

Did you know that you can send money for free? For real, you can avoid the high costs of sending remittances and cash in general. Discover easy and free international money transfer options.

If you often send money abroad, fees can eat into your money account. Over time, they can add up significantly, and you might not even want to know the total. 

However, there are free solutions for international money transfers you might not yet have heard of. Skrill and Neteller are the two biggest players in the digital wallet field. 

With Skrill Neteller, you can send your money internationally for free, but not with regular accounts. To avoid fees, you need to upgrade your Skrill Neteller account.
