Methods to Transfer Bank Savings Internationally Before Moving Abroad
Hi, I am moving from the UAE to another country for my studies and need to transfer my bank account savings. I believe I may need to close my UAE account before leaving. I am looking for guidance on how to handle international fund transfers safely before I arrive in the new country.
I would like to know if there are any reputable international banks or accounts I can use to transfer money beforehand. I prefer not to use services like Wise or Revolut. Once I arrive, I plan to open a local bank account.
Could you please advise on the lowest-cost and most efficient methods for managing such international fund transfers for relocation? Note: I am unable to open a local bank account in the destination country while still in the UAE.
