What are the solutions to send money to Nepal?
As the Nepalese Rupee is among the exotic currencies most banks don't provide the possibility to send Nepalese Rupee abroad. You can send US dollars or Euros for example and the recipient ask his bank to convert the money into Nepalese Rupee. But banks are not the cheapest option to send money internationally as they offer low exchange rates.
A better way to send money to Nepal is to use a money transfer company which is specialized in currencies exchange. Money transfer providers offer better exchange rates and you can manage the speed of the transfer as you know it in advance. Several kinds exist. If your recipient is in urgent need of cash while traveling to Nepal you can use an international cash service which is the fastest way to move money overseas as your recipient can get the money in minutes. If not you can use an online money transfer company which is easy to use and provides quite good rates. If you are in need to move a large amount of money to Nepal foreign exchange brokers are a good way because they have advantageous rates for big amounts.
