Does anyone know just off-hand what would be the cheapest way to send a small amount of money(euros) to someone in Finland (less than 100 euros)? It's coming from Australia.
I'm not worried about the cost incurred at my end but worried about the cost at the Finnish end. I want to factor in the costs they will be charged whether it be bank transfer, cheque or money order.
Cheapest way to send money to Finland?
Re: Cheapest way to send money to Finland?
Just tell your bank to use the IBAN account number and say you want all charges debited to your account, not to the receiver's and make sure you transfer euro not Aus$ so the conversion is done your end.
Alternatively send an amazon.co.uk book voucher or something like that.
Maybe Stockmann does lahjakortti on-line???? Anyone know?

Don't send a cheque unless you want to piss the receiver off.

Which kind of makes me wonder... Can you cash out cheque in foreign country?Hank W. wrote:Don't send a cheque unless you want to piss the receiver off.
I honestly doubt there is branch of "Bank of Australia" around, but I guess banks have some kind of mutual aid system... Or?
By the way, on original topic, anything that requires receiving person to visit bank in person is best way to pile up costs on him/her. Banks like to charge for service here.
