The Mission Office has recently partnered with Moneycorp (www.moneycorp.com), a global currency exchange firm. We are currently in the launch phase and wanted to make you aware of this valuable money saving opportunity.
There are 2 dynamic offerings that Moneycorp brings to the table (among many others):
- Lower overall fees on USD wires. This is primarily due to the ability to avoid sending funds through an intermediary bank (a $30 fee). USD wires with Moneycorp come with a flat fee of $10. Avoiding the $8.00 fee from Commerce Bank along with the $30 fee from the Intermediary Bank…that’s a savings of $28 on EVERY USD wire.
- Savings on the currency exchange. Moneycorp provides us with the ability to wire in foreign currencies. This could result in a significant savings on the exchange for each wire. This means you would no longer be at the mercy of the receiving bank for their exchange rate. A recent wire in Euros to one of our missionaries resulted in a savings of more than $70.00.
If you would like to use this service, please let myself (bgarrison@bbfimissions.com) or Wendi (wendi@bbfimissions.com) know to add you to the Moneycorp list for your next wire. To be added to the end of month June wire list, please let us know by June 25th.
Also provide the following:
- Receiving currency for wire: Your local currency with currency type or US Dollars
- If a different bank account is required for your currency, please provide this information.
I am confident you are going to like Moneycorp. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Serving with You,
Brian
