Wiring money from home to Spain using one of the companies listed below is never convenient or cheap, and should be considered a last resort. However, the Money Transfer process is very simple. You can log in from the comfort of your office or home anywhere, and complete the transaction with some added security checks. On the other hand, for those people who don't own an ATM card; a fast and safe way to send money is by way of a teller's or bank check, preferably from a well-known bank (Citibank, Bank of America, First National, etc.), to be sent by Federal Express, which usually arrives in four working days. You can alsowire money directly from a bank in your home country to a bank in Spain, although this is somewhat less reliable and more expensive because it involves two separate institutions.
