Smart Tips for a Stress-Free Money Transfer

• Understand Your Banking Limits (Because Ignorance Isn’t Bliss)

Most banks have daily or per-transaction limits on how much money you can send. These limits might vary depending on:

• Whether you’re sending money online, over the phone, or in-person at a branch.
  
• Online or phone transfers often have lower limits, meaning you may need to split your transfer into smaller chunks over several days. 
  
• Heading to your branch in-person usually allows for larger transfers in one go. 

Pro Tip: Call your bank to confirm their transfer limits beforehand.

• Verify Your Identity Early (Because Nobody Likes Waiting)

Identity verification is a must for sending large amounts of money. Most platforms, like TangoPay, will ask for:

• A photo ID.
• Proof of address.

It usually takes up to 2 working days, but here’s the catch:
If you try to set up a transfer before getting verified, this could delay things even more. 

Once you pay for your transfer, you might also need to show documents like:

• Bank statements.
• Property sale agreements.
• Payslips.

Pro Tip: Get verified before making your first big transfer to save time.
