International Money Transfer (SWIFT)

Hi Guys,

Can anyone share his experience with International Money Transfer for payment request from Flashden? Even better if you’re from UK, even better if you have a Nationwide account

Is the currency conversion rate better than Paypal? Are there any charges? And how long does it take?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, it took just few days – 3/4 – and there is a fee of 25$ (Italy)... i think it is a much better solution than paypal… in any case the currency conversion sucks from dollars to euros, especially now that 1€ = 1.4$

We are losing 40% of our earnings because the conversion… this is terrible

Thanks, I think I’ll give that a try this month

I make transactions from FD to moneybookers account and then from moneybookers to my bank, and only fee I pay is about 2 dollars, this is probably the best way.

ive made international transfers from clients to my lloyds account, cost $50 and I got the banks exchange rate which is far better than paypals and it was instant

It’s still $50 though, do you guys pay a fee when receiving money from Flashden to Paypal?

I don’t pay any fee for money I receive from Flashden as FD is considered as a “verified buyer”, and when comparing paypal currency conversion rates, it is not that much different than the ones I find on the net.

But I remember DS saying Paypal takes a big chunk, anyone pays a fee at paypal when receiving money from flashden?

As i know we can withdraw money to MoneyBookers here on FlashDen. This system has very low fees (with SWIFT or other means), but better study their fees by yourself, because i do not remember specific rates.

Well the thing is I don’t pay any fee at Paypal for money coming from FD, I just thought I may be losing out on their conversion rates, but if I have to pay $50 at my bank for receiving a SWIFT it may not be as advantageous as I thought.

And btw, MoneyBookers is a UK company, so, for UK citizens it should be even better (well, maybe you will loose some money during transfer from FlashDen, but i do not think that this fee is more than 2-3 %)
