Sending Money To Cape Verde

Hello everyone,
I am a digital nomad, and I'll be working from Praia for a couple of months. I want to send money from a foreign account to myself here and was wondering if Western Union is the best way to do this. Is anyone familiar with their rates? Is it cheaper to do a wire transfer instead?

Thanks for all the help! - @Chialuka

You can use Western Union or MoneyGram. Their fees are MUCH lower than doing wire transfers, except if you transfer via Revolut., (assuming you can have a Revolut account in the country where you are relocating from). Revolut is the cheapest transfer method.

Cheers,

Angelo

Bom dia @Chialuka

You didn't say from what country your coming from.

If you (or your money) are coming from the U.S, I would recommend 'Remitly'.

Setup an account at a bank in Praia and send money to yourself.

Relatively inexpensive at $1.99 US per transaction.

Good luck.

Thanks a lot, @Angelo and @Geder! I am sending from a US account, so I'll use the options you suggested.

Obrigado!

De Nada!
