Sending ~$30k to India - How?

Whats a cost efficient way for sending around $30,000 to my parents bank account in India (for buying property)? Remitly gives exchange rate around 82.40 Rs currently. Is that good or there are some other methods that may be better? Edit 1: Western Union gave the best - 82.8, so went with that...Thanks guys!! #india #property #house #money

Transferwise is another alternative - esp if you need instant transfers, cheaper than Remitly on most occasions

82.40 means they’re taking a ~0.8% cut, doesn’t seem that bad

Lol no. You lose a lot on spread and good luck managing taxes. There are lots of simpler, easier and safer options, that are practically realtime too
