For a sum that large, I'm assuming you'd be conducting a bank wire transfer, in which case you should ask your local bank what their fees are for transfering money from one account to another internationally.\n\nIf that doesn't work, you could do an online search for companies that specialize in international wire transfers... but I'd research them to make sure they're reputable before you utilize their services for a sum that large.\n\nIf you were thinking about a place like Western Union, you will just have to call them,  because they don't have a cost estimator on their site (only for online transfers, which are limited to amounts much lower than what you're needing).\n\nI've placed the link for Western Union below, in case you decide to at least investigate it.  Good luck.

The bank should offer a service to transfer direct to her account as well as exchanging to GBP for the transfer. You could check with the receiving bank and compare rates before deciding. It is often cheaper and quicker to use money transfer agencies that are usually in abundance in any financial centre, you could probably find them in the telephone directory. If your wife has a large amount she may be better off holding it in an offshore account rather than in the UK.

Hi Ekdin,\n\nSending money is no problem first you should know if your government allow the amount you want to send? next, if you want to make a payment to a business firm or an individual these are two cases. In both cases they should have paypal account.\n\nThe most easiest way is you should register for Paypal. Then you can send money easily.

Yes, more or less.  Ask for a wire transfer at your bank and be sure to have the account number of the bank in the UK.

Postal orders are the best way if you want the money asap. Cheques are ok if you want the money to go into your bank account and don't mind waiting a few days. I know what you mean when it's comes to paypal especially when selling something on ebay. You get charged by ebay for listing the item then you get charged again by ebay at the end of the month and then paypal charge you for using their services and then they charge you again if you transfer funds into a bank account. You don't seem to really gain anything using ebay or paypal.\n\nPostal Orders are the best bet. Just take them the post office and they will cash them for you.

Start with talking to your bank. They can find out the account where the money was transferred into.\n\nThey may also be able to give you some advice as to how to proceed from there.

go to the Bank America branch in Mexico City or the Citicorp branch and ask them.  They will probably do a direct bank transfer for you.

I was in Europe not too long ago and by far, the cheapest way to go is use the ATM once you get there. You still pay the "foreign ATM fee" you would pay just like going to an ATM that is not a part of your bank at home (probably around $4.00) which is less than the usual transaction fee to exchange currency, and the best/most favorable exchange rates. This is partially because the bank does not have to keep a supply of the other country's currency.

Yes. You can invest through any of the foreign banks located in India. Citibank, BNP Paribas, ABN Amro bank and HSBC.

Wire transfer.  Your US bank should be able to give you the information (routing number, your account number).  You provide this to your bank in India and they should be able to take it from there.

THERE ARE 2 WAYS OF DOING IT...\n\n1. IF YOUR BANK IS AN ONLINE BANK SO YOU CAN ASK FOR YOUR LOGIN AND PASSWORD AND FROM THERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TRANSFER YOUR MONEY TO OTHER ACCOUNT. THIS IS THE FASTEST WAY OF MONEY TRANSFER AS THE MONEY IS TRANSFERRED IN SECONDS\n\n2. WHEN YOU GO TO THE BANK JUST ASK THEM THAT YOU WISH TO TRANSFER MONEY FROM YOUR ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER, THEY WILL GIVE YOU A "FUNDS TRANSFER RECIEPT" YOU FILL THAT UP AND IN THIS WAY IT TAKES 3 DAYZ FOR THE MONEY TRANSFER.

First of all contact your broker, if he offers the same. If he doesn't or you don't have a broker then first choose a broker which offers the service, Many top flight Private Banks in India (like ICICI, HDFC) and big brokers like (Sharekhan.com & 5paisa.com) offer these services. Forward an application to them and start trading within 5-7 days. Contact them for further details. \n\nA great personal advice to you would be to keep at least 50 copies of your PAN card ready before you proceed.

That's about right. Can't transfer it cheaper than 40 or 50 bucks. Even that's pretty cheap and if you use a thru bank, you'll incur costs so the final cost will be a little higher.
