How to Transfer Euros to France When Paying Your Wedding Vendors
Sending euros to France for a destination wedding using Wise.com is a convenient and cost-effective option.
Couples having a destination wedding abroad requires sending money in that country’s currency. I regularly do too when living here in France. I know people can be hesitant when a site takes crucial personal information but I wouldn’t recommend anything without having used it myself. (This isn’t a plug for Wise by the way:)
I just want to make the process as easy as possible for you. So, here are the steps:
Create an Account: First, you'll need to create an account on the Wise (formerly TransferWise) website or mobile app.
Verify Your Identity: Wise will require you to verify your identity by providing some personal information and documents as part of their security measures.
Set Up Your Transfer: After your account is verified, set up a new transfer. Enter the amount you want to send in euros and the destination in France.
Add Recipient Details: Provide the recipient's bank account details in France, including their IBAN and BIC/SWIFT code. Ensure the details are accurate.
Pay for the Transfer: You can fund your transfer through various methods, such as bank transfer, debit card, or credit card. Wise will show you the total cost, including fees and the exchange rate.
Confirm and Review: Review the transfer details, fees, and exchange rate. Once you're satisfied, confirm the transfer.
Track Your Transfer: You can track the progress of your transfer through the Wise dashboard. You'll receive updates as the money moves through the process.
Money Delivered: Once your transfer is complete, the euros will be delivered to the recipient's bank account in France.
Wise is known for offering competitive exchange rates and low fees, making it a popular choice for international money transfers. However, it's a good practice to compare rates and fees with other transfer services to ensure you're getting the best deal for your specific transfer.
