Money transfer

<p>What's a good way for my parents to send me money from Europe to US?</p>

<p>Bank / wire transfer? That’s prolly what I’ll be using</p>

<p>credit card is the best way… Nowdays money is plastic…!</p>

<p>Ask at your bank if you can use your debit card to withdraw money from cash machines in the US, and what the extra charges would be. There will probably be a small standard fee every time you use a machine that doesn’t belong to your bank, and there may also be a fee for converting the money into US dollars.</p>

<p>Once you are in the US, if you open a bank account here, talk with the bank officers about what the fee for accepting a foreign wire transfer is. Some will charge more than others. The international students who are already there may have good ideas for you. Also, some international banks have US branches or affiliates. Ask your current bank about that.</p>
