WIRE TRANSFERS
Wire Transfers
For the best in safety and speed, you can find no option better than wire transfer. You can wire the money to any bank branch by either using cash or by drafting your account. Wire transfers require the recipient to hold an account in the country where they are going to receive the money. Wire transfers need the recipient's name, account number, bank, and branch location. There are some countries, and some circumstances, under which it is possible to make a wire transfer to a recipient without a bank account.

BANK DRAFTS
Bank Drafts
A bank draft in a foreign currency is not much different from a cashier's check. The difference is that not only can you pay cash for this but you can also tell the bank to take the account directly out of your bank account. Obviously you must have an account in the bank that you are asking to make the draft. You will inform the bank about the recipient's name and full address. Since drafts go via mail or courier, the delivery time depends on the mailing service you choose as well as the location where they are mailed.

CASHIER'S CHECKS
Cashier's Checks
A cashier's check, in countries where it is accepted, is often the safest way to transfer money using ordinary mail. Never use personal checks when you can use cashier's. The same applies when receiving checks. If you get a personal check there is no way to know if that account has any money in it. The bank issues cashier's checks upon receipt of the cash specified, so you know they are good. The problem with overseas checks is that they are likely to be in another currency and you will again have to contend with fluctuating market rates.

DIRECT DEPOSIT
Direct Deposit
Direct deposit is a great, convenient method to receive your hard earned money from an employer. With direct deposit, funds are directly deposited into your account, so there is no hassle with running to the bank to deposit a paper check. If you feel a bit wary about not actually seeing a paper check stub as evidence of your earnings, realize that your employer still provides you with records of your pay.

CHECK
Check
Another way to send or receive money is by using a check. Most of the time, writing a check is a way to give payment to other people or institutions. Using checks as a payment method is pretty convenient because you can specify the exact amount you want to pay. However, most people find receiving a check as a hassle as you have to go to the bank to deposit it.
CASH
Cash
The old school, traditional method is to use cash. You can simply receive cash from someone, or pay someone in cash. This is a money transfer. There are many problems with this method of payment, including the most common one, which is the lack of cash in your wallet.
