Sending money abroad can be risky if you don\u2019t take the right precautions. Keep your international money transfers safe by only transferring money through licensed money transfer services. Ensure you have the correct details on hand before sending a transfer \u2014 and never send transfers to people you do not trust.

Lastly, always remember to keep your transfer reference number on hand so that you can track the progress of your transfers. If you notice anything suspicious, contact your provider immediately.
Compare money transfer services<\/a><\/p>What happens if I entered the incorrect information for my transaction?<\/h3>
If you enter incorrect information for your money transfer, you typically have two options to consider: change the recipient\u2019s information or cancel the money transfer.<\/p>
Can I change my recipient\u2019s information if I entered it incorrectly?<\/h4>
Unfortunately, you\u2019ll find that changing your recipient\u2019s name or address is trickier after you\u2019ve initiated a transfer. But if you haven\u2019t entered your recipient\u2019s details correctly, they may not be able to receive their funds at all. If you\u2019ve found an error with your recipient\u2019s information, call, visit or live chat with your provider immediately.<\/p>
Keep any confirmation number or receipt handy to help in pulling up your transfer. Your provider should be able to correct or modify your recipient\u2019s details for you, even if it means adding a few more days to your delivery window as the system updates. If you\u2019ve discovered the error outside business hours, try logging in to your account \u2014 you may be able to make the changes yourself if your transfer isn\u2019t yet complete.<\/p>
Can I cancel a money transfer?<\/h4>
Nearly all banks and money transfer providers offer some way of cancelling your transaction after you\u2019ve set it in motion \u2014 especially if your money hasn\u2019t yet been delivered. Simply call or visit \u2014 in person or online \u2014 the provider you used to send your transfer.<\/p>
If you\u2019re able to cancel your money transfer, you should see a refund for the total you paid for it. In the rare case, a provider may deduct a cancellation fee from your refund \u2014 which might be another factor to weigh when choosing the company you ultimately go with.<\/p>
If your transfer is not yet picked up or deposited into your recipient\u2019s account, you may be able to log in to your account to cancel the transfer yourself. Otherwise, call, visit or live chat with your provider to discuss its refund process and how much you can expect to get back.<\/p>
