Yes, alternative ways exist to transfer money internationally without paying high fees. Services like Wise (formerly TransferWise) offer lower fees by using the mid-market exchange rate and charging a transparent fee based on the amount transferred. Revolut and PayPal are also popular options that provide competitive exchange rates and lower fees compared to traditional bank wire transfers, especially for smaller amounts. Additionally, cryptocurrency transfers through platforms like Coinbase can be a cost-effective alternative, particularly for cross-border payments, although they may involve currency conversion and transaction fees depending on the platform used.
