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.
