Anyone have a service they use and are happy with? Ideally I'd like to have my salary direct deposited into some bank account and have the money converted and sent to me in Israel.
I was using world first but they just realized that I live in Israel and they are not licensed here (?)
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
I just posted about this on another thread but it might help in your situation too:
I just got a Stack Mastercard. It's a no-fee prepaid credit card that you load with CAD from a CAD bank account via interac e-transfer or bill pay (among other options) and then there are no FX fees or cash advance fees so it comes out to basically the mid market rate. It's only a soft pull on your Canadian credit file. They also reimburse you for a year of Amazon Canada Prime.
I'm not sure if this would help for really large amounts like a paycheck as you'd have to withdraw it all at an Israeli ATM and then deposit it wherever you want in Israel but maybe it can work. I haven't tried it with ILS yet but it's supposed to work anywhere, and if it's really mid-market rate then it should be cheaper than Transferwise.
