Hi looking for a thread.

Hi Everyone,
I apologize for posting this non-immigration thread in this section. I am looking for a wonderful thread that talked about sending monies abroad to other nations like india.
I could send the money by western union but its too expensive and that thread talked about various ways to send money with less cost. I can follow the thread if someone can provide me with that link.
Thanks
Rahul

rahul,
do some research. Edison already pointed out earlier to check in the important thread up top.

Why are you posting same question as new thread every hour ?

Best ways to transfer money abroad - esp. India

Personal checks - best exchange rates and very minimal commission, but takes 2-3 weeks

ICICI e-transfer www.money2india.com - good exchange rates (a commission of around 23 paise) and no transfer fees, takes 3-4 days if the account is setup (this is an e-transfer account and not a checking or savings account - so minimums)

Wire-transfer - faster way to transfer money and best exchange rates, but a fee of 30-50 dollars

Citibank www.citibankindia.com - poor exchange rates and you need to have a checking account setup with them with a minimum balance

Western Union www.westernunion.com - fastest way to transfer money but poor exchange rates and big transfer fees around 100 dollars for 1500 dollars.

Cash2India www.cash2india.com - can pay by credit card or paypal but the transfer fees are more, if you have the ACH linked with your checking account, the transfer fee is a flat 7 bucks. Very poor exchange rates though.

Overall I found e-transfer from ICICI to be the best service if you take everything into account.

And one more thing, I forgot to mention hawala, this is the best method at anytime.
