Money Transfer Options Comparison

People sending money to Brazil usually consider three main options:

● Traditional banks: provide security but charge high fees and apply unfavorable exchange rates.

● Services like Western Union: fast but expensive, sometimes requiring cash pick-up in person.

● Fintechs and digital banks: allow mobile or online transfers with lower fees and greater transparency.

International Transfers stands out by combining the speed of a digital transfer service with fair pricing — and the added benefit of multilingual customer support.
