After spending months or years working abroad, the time will come when you wish to send money home to South Africa. It may be for a gift, or hard-earned savings that you can't wait to convert into South African Rand's. There are several ways of doing so, but one still needs to approach the action with caution as there is a slight possibility you could get ripped off by excessive bank charges.
Reputable companies like Exchange4Free and PSG Consult make for good first ports-of-call. Though there are charges involved, these are usually minimal. It's important to remember that even though your high street bank might seem a better option, you might just find a nasty, excessive charge on each and every transfer you perform through them.
Companies such as these have been transferring clients' monies for ages and represent the easiest, safest and cheapest method of making the transfer.
All these websites are comprehensive, offer easy sign ups, clear outlines of their respective charges and the most current exchange rates. Also, bear in mind that these companies can send money anywhere in the world, not just to Mom and Dad or other loved ones in South Africa. Depending on the size of the transaction, the transfers are already completed within hours or days of you initiating it.

The most important thing is to keep your money safe. Do not give your money to persons or companies with no reputable following. Always make sure that whoever you deal with is an accredited money transfer agency. If you do not like the idea of using companies like the ones mentioned above, simply stick with your high street bank. All of them will have means in place of transferring your hard-earned cash to wherever you'd like it to be, even though it may take slightly longer and the charges may be a little higher. After all, the bank is not there to steal your money.
