Re: Transferwise and ABA Customers
Sorry, late to the party but still unsure and hoping someone could help.
In preparing to move to Cambodia I'm not sure the best method for transferring my funds (currently in Polish zloty).
I have a Wise account and card and theoretically could put everything onto there as USD and:
1) withdraw cash when required during initial couple of weeks
2) then SWIFT transfer it all into my Cambodian bank account once it's set up
or do I exchange north of 10k into cash and take that?
This is driving me crazy any help greatly appreciated.

Wise, SWIFT, and a grand cash for emergencies would be my routeBleedingBlue wrote: ↑Mon May 30, 2022 7:25 pm Sorry, late to the party but still unsure and hoping someone could help.

Re: Transferwise and ABA Customers

Charge your wise card, so you can use it to take out cash, setup an ABA account here and then SWIFT the rest of your savings from your old bank to ABA. Dollars for rainy day in cash self explanatory
