Sending Money : Planning Your Trip

Do your best to avoid it. Carry a credit card or a separate stash of traveler’s checks.

money can be sent within 24hrs. from your home bank branch abroad with a cable transfer (in either US or foreign currency) in a major city: it takes a bit longer to send a less central location. you pay cabling costs plus the commission charged by your bank (approximately US$25 per $ 1000). Before you leave home, visit your bank to obtain a list of its corresponding banks in Israel, Egypt, and Jordan, You can also arrange in advance for your bank to send money from your account to foreign banks on specific dates. Remember that you will always need ID to pick up money that has been sent to you.
