Transfer $USD from US to Canada
Hi all, looking for any experience or advice in transferring money from my cousin in Virginia to me here in Alberta. Long story short we have a "Family Account" that we need to transfer to CDN funds. When my cousin monitored the account, he would accept via PayPal. He could transfer to me via PayPal but the fees are high and they would conduct the US to CDN exchange I believe and an sure I can get much better exchange rates a few different ways. Simple Etransfer does not look to be an option as it looks like they don't have Etransfer down there.
When I did this previously (2009?) my (different) cousin just sent a bank draft via Fed Ex, is still the best possible solution? I have a US account with BMO that I believe will accept a wire transfer but there are fees with this to, I will check with my bank but won't be able to get in there for a bit.
