postbank (germany) - transferring money to the us - what are the best options?
user
for those who are interested, i am answering my own question: we used postbank and transferred 6000 euro, we chose to transfer in us$, and selected shared fees. there were three fees in total: all in all, i paid ~37$; this is about half of what i expected; and i got a perfect exchange rate. postbank might have its downsides, but it seems they are still a good deal.
