Sending a small sum in NIS
« on: April 25, 2022, 10:46:58 PM »
I am trying to send roughly 200 NIS to someone in Israel.

I only have a US account and he only has a NIS account and is technologically challenged.

What’s the simplest way for me to get the money over to him?

Thanks!

Have someone lay out the money there for you and pay him in USD.

That’s like an 8% fee to send 200NIS. Might be worth it to save time researching cheaper options, but for someone budget conscious that’s very high.
