When deciding which service to use you should look at all the main features including the exchange rates, whether there are any fees or charges involved and what transfer methods are available.
Please be aware that the services listed below are best used for larger international transfers and payments (around $3,000 and above). This is because many foreign exchange brokerages can only provide a free service if the transfer amount is higher than a certain amount. If your transfer amount is smaller, you may be charged a flat fee (usually around $10). If you need to send a smaller amount overseas, you should look into using a Money Transfer service for a cheaper alternative. Please make sure that you read the terms and conditions thoroughly.
