Transferring money from UK to Canada

I send money bank (Lloyds ) to bank to NZ, Rep of Ireland and Australia and never had a problem My son in NZ is now a NZ resident but still no problem
Nonev of them have Uk bank accounts

Have a look at the online bank Revolut. I use it to transfer money to my son's account in New Zealand. My brother in Ireland has a Revolut acc too and it's really easy to transfer money between our accounts. You get a very good exchange rate too.

I regularly transfer money to Australia via Bank transfer. You just need the recipient's bank account details, then follow the instructions re online bank transfer. If you don't do online banking, call at your bank as I used to do years ago. The cashier will facilitate the payment for you.

I have not sent money to Canada, but years ago did have to send money to a relation in the USA. I did through my bank, they were very helpful. If I remember there was a fee. I think the bank is safer, do not use Western Union. Just take your relatives bank details to your own bank and ask.

Paypal. My son has lived in Canada for 20 plus years and this is how we transfer funds to each other.

Ilovecheese - I wouldn't be happy using PayPal for large sums of money

I see WISE is not on that list but I've always used them without a problem. 🤞

Oh I see. I just Googled . It seems some banks close the accounts of expats and some banks don't. I move money from my UK account to Canada via a money transfer company

I am wondering why your son's UK bank account will be closed next year?

We’ve always transferred money straight into our daughter’s bank account in New Zealand.

I had to move money from the UK to Françe, you can do it online, you’ll need their IBAN number, or there are apps you can use like Revolut or Wise - there are others.
It might be worth asking your bank to help.

PayPal?
