For sending a few hundred dollars to South America without a lot of hassle, I’d start with Wise or Remitly. Both are designed for international money transfers, and you can generally set things up from your phone without visiting a bank.
The best choice depends on which country you're sending to and how the recipient wants to receive the money — directly into a bank account, a mobile wallet, or as cash pickup.
My quick comparison
Remitly — best for simple personal transfers
- Good for sending money to family or friends.
- Supports bank deposits and, depending on the country, cash pickup and mobile wallets.
- Often has introductory offers for new customers.
Best if convenience and flexible ways to receive money matter most.
