How To Send an Email Money Transfer
Sending an email money transfer is typically good for people that need to send money conveniently and especially if it is not a large amount. Most financial institutions have limits as to the amount that can be sent.
The first thing you need to know about sending an email money transfer is that the money is not actually sent by email.
The sender will type in the dollar amount, the email address of the recipient and also ask a question to which the receiver needs to answer. This is to ensure that the receiver is actually the person that the sender wants to send the money too.
Once the receiver answers the question, they can click on a link, which allows them to connect to their financial institution and then the money is put in to their account.
The money is generally available right away with no hold and it is a quick process.
You will need to discuss the fees with your bank, typically the sender is charged a fee and the receiver is not but this depends on your bank and your account plan.
Sending an email money transfer is easy and is generally safe. Only send money to people you know and trust. If you need help, you can call your bank’s customer service and ask them how to send an email money transfer and they will be able to help you.
