Need to sell and transfer around 80k USD worth of stocks to my indian hdfc NRE account. Whats the best option? 1. Convert to INR using fidelity (fee 1.75%) 2. Transfer USD and let hdfc handle conversion(not sure about the rate) 3. Transfer to wise and then to HDFC 4. ? Folks who have done this please help!!!! I'm based in canada

this may look normal since you work at “coinbase” but no one will go through this many hoops to do a simple transfer 😅

Updated post. My location is canada.
Just reach out to your HDFC RM and ask them to give you the best possible rate. At 80k USD, they should come very close to mid market forex rate.
Got it. So this should be similar to what wise should give me?
Wise’s rates are BS at this point. Best is Moneygram (25k limit per month). Next is Western Union (50k limit per month). You should ask HDFC to get as close to Moneygram’s rate (including their fee) as possible. Feel free to DM if you want to optimize even further based on your situation.
