Send money to Estonia

Australia recognised Estonia as a nation in 1921. Australia was among the first to re-establish ties with Estonia after its independence in 1991. While Australia has an embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, it also has an honorary consulate in Tallinn, Estonia. Estonia has an embassy in Canberra along with honorary consulates in Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart and Perth.

As per the 2011 Australian Census, around 8,500 people of Estonian descent and over 1,900 Estonia-born people lived in Australia. Two-way trade between these two nations stood at around $60 million in 2013/2014.

The need to send money from Australia to Estonia does not come as a surprise. Luckily, you get various options from which to choose.

How do I compare transfer companies when transferring and receiving money via Estonia?

When you’re comparing money transfer companies to send money from Australia to Estonia, or the other way around, these aspects require your attention:

• Financial viability. Deciding which company to go with based solely on the exchange rate it offers can be a mistake. This is because you may end up paying an exceptionally high fee, forfeiting any benefit you may have otherwise received. The best way to know which company offers a better deal in terms of money is to look at the total amount the recipient stands to receive.
• Methods of sending money. One way to send money to Estonia is to do so in person. Banks let you do this as do some money transfer companies. Some businesses limit their operations to the online world. Some let you initiate the process over the phone.
• Methods of receiving money. The recipient can collect money by visiting a cash pickup location in Estonia. He or she can also receive funds directly into an Estonian bank account.
• Time taken to process the transfer. If the recipient is to collect cash from a physical outlet, the transfer can take place almost immediately. When it comes to transferring money into an Estonian bank account, money transfer companies tend to offer quicker turnaround times when compared to banks.
• Using the same bank. You can consider using the services of a bank if you and the recipient have accounts with the same institution. In this case you can save on time as well as money.
• Transfer options. Do you want to hold on to making the transfer until you get a desired exchange rate? Do you wish to transfer funds every now and again? While some service providers offer no more than one-time transfer facilities, some others provide scheduled payments, market orders and forwards contracts.
• Minimum amount. This is not a concern if you plan to send a substantial amount. However, know that some money transfer companies have minimum transfer limits in place, which can be $500 or $1,000.
