Countries the US sends the most money to around the world
American roots are joined to family and friends who dot the world. So are our wallets — to the tune of $135 billion a year.
The melting pot. A salad bowl. Whatever you call it, the United States is home to overlapping cultures and colorful traditions. Nearly 240 years old and more than 300 languages strong, here you can celebrate Oktoberfest in the South, Diwali in the Northeast and the Chinese New Year in the Midwest.
With so many connections around the world, it’s no surprise that Americans are sending their hard-earned cash to neighboring nations and those further flung. Supporting relatives in home countries. Wiring funds to children studying abroad. Funding business in global markets.

How do you know if your international money transfer made it safely? Learn how to track or cancel, and find out what your rights are when it comes to sending money.
From bank transfers to specialist money transfer companies, there are several options available when you need to transfer money overseas from your bank account.
If you need to transfer money overseas using your credit card, you can do so via your bank, MoneyGram, Western Union and PayPal. This can be useful in emergency situations, but credit card transfers are usually not a cost-effective option.
If you’re looking for a secure way to send money overseas, an international bank draft could be for you — but if speed is important, consider using a money transfer service instead.
