Transferring Money from the U.S. to Poland

11 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to find out the best way to transfer money from U.S. to Poland. I'm currently in the U.S. (U.S. citizen), but moving to Poland with my new wife shortly and I will be transferring money in amounts ranging from a couple of thousand USD on a monthly basis and a large transfer from the proceeds of selling a home.
We have a 'dollar' account set up in Poland, so no currency conversion will be needed. I did a trial transfer of $50 USD directly from my U.S. bank to the Polish 'dollar' account and was charged a flat fee of $35 from my U.S.bank plus a 7% fee from my Polish bank.
So, as you can see my online bank to bank transfer doesn't seem do be the best way. What are my choices?
Thanks in advance,
Terry
