Avoid Hefty Fees:

In case of currency conversion, there may be hidden charges because banks would generally give poor conversion rate - these hidden charges can be as high as 3% of the transfer amount. We recommend using service like transferwise for best conversion rates and lower wire transfer fees.

International Money Transfer:
If you want to make an International wire transfer, the sender's bank will ask the Swift BIC Code of the recipient bank along with the account holder's name and account number to initiate the transfer. The first 8 character of the swift code indicates the bank in a particular region e.g. BWSTUS66 is the bank code for BANK OF THE WEST in UNITED STATES while the last 3 characters indicate the code for a particular branch in this region (here LAX is the code for the branch (GLOBAL TRADE SERVICES)). XXX indicates the main branch for the bank and is the default case if the last 3 characters are not provided. In most cases, the first 8 characters (here BWSTUS66) is sufficient for initiating International Wire Transfers as the main branch can internally transfer to other branch where the bank account of the recipient is present.
