Alternatives to wire transfers to get money from Europe?
We have 45000 Euros in a Greek bank which we would like to get transferred to Canada. We were told that with the current restrictions in Greece only 1000 Euros can be transferred out of the country per month. In addition, each wire transfer and conversion costs 25 euros at the originating bank and then $14CAD here at RBC to receive it. This seems like a lot of fees considering we will need to do this every month for the next 40 or so months. Are there any cheaper alternatives to wire transfers?
