Hello! I have a quick question for you all, and I am very much hoping that you can help me quickly! I need to send money to my son who is currently studying in Japan. I know that there are various ways, and that some of them are more difficult and complicated than others. Can you advise me please? What is the safest way to transfer the money?
Unless you consider sending cash in an envelope as a money transfer method, I would say that most ways of transfer are very safe indeed. The question is how urgent the money you want to send needs to arrive. Bank to bank transfers can take a week or so, while the quickest way - INSTANT transfer - achieved with Western Union is much more expensive. You decide.
