Dobrý Den, I need to pay a deposit for my housing for VUT by January 12th. I was wondering if anyone knew what the best way to do this is? This is what the school has for the matter. http://www.skm.vutbr.cz/Angl/payment.asp?y=1011 I could do a wire transfer but it costs $45 on top of the 200 Euro deposit. I'm looking for a cheaper option though. I might try calling the bank in the morning to see if they can help me. Děkuji, Daniel
$45 is nice rip-off Try to google some money transfer company, they should have better conditions than banks. I remember when I was in London there were plenty of those. And/or look at Wester Union, how much would transfer to CZ cost.
I found a site, www.xe.com. I think I can trust this site and it seems to have minimal fees. I'm going to explore this option a little.
take a look at this site http://www.complaintsboard.com/complain ... 37142.html and maybe do a search for xe.com complaints this doesn't sound good
The cheapest option is to put money to the envelope and send it over to someone trusted . However the most risky one .
Yeah, I got an offer on the brnoexpats forum for someone to do that, but it seems VERY risky. Especially since I don't know them. I won't be using the XE service. Worse comes to worse I can just pay the 45 dollars. But I'll wait until the 3rd so I can talk to the university.
