INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS - МІЖНАРОДНІ ПЕРЕКАЗИ

How long does it take?

  

Bank clerk:	—	Hello. Can I help you, ma´am?
Mary Jones:	—	Yes. Could you tell me how to send some money to someone with an account with a bank in Germany?
Bank clerk:	—	Well, you can pay by mail, telegraphic or SWIFT transfer (поштовий, телеграфний або SWIFT переказ). Or you can have a banker´s draft (переказний вексель) and mail it yourself to the beneficiary (на отримувача).
Mary Jones:	—	Which is the best way?
Bank clerk:	—	It depends on the amount and how fast you want that person to receive the money. A SWIFT transfer is the fastest method but a banker´s draft is usually the cheapest. How much do you wanna send?
