Hope you move here safely

Hi,

Do you mean transferring money from your bank account in Europe to another account in Mauritius?
Or sending money to someone in Mauritius?

Wiring via banks are usually the safest way to transfer money especially when big sums are involved. Different banks charges different transaction fees in Mauritius, so maybe you can find one that best suits your needs.

Otherwise, you can always transfer funds in between Paypal accounts in different countries. Or use the regular transfer networks like Western Union, Moneygram or Visa Direct. But then again, there are fees applicable and limits on transactions. Therefore, it really depends on your needs and the amount you are dealing with.

Hi Winston,
Yes, I was talking about bank account to bank account transfers.
Thanks for your reply, I'll study the fine prints :-)

Hi slybridges

In my opinion the safest way to transfer money into Mauritius is via an International SWIFT transfer. Yes, there are fees but then you get security and peace of mind in return.

Banks are the most trusted institutions indeed, but as long as you are dealing with recognised and accredited agencies like money transfer companies, etc, there won't be any problem.
Just make sure they are fully registered with the Financial Services Commission and with the Bank of Mauritius for banking institutions.

Thank you both for your answers
