• Bank transfer. Sending money with your bank may be easy, but it is typically more expensive, slower, and less flexible than an international money transfer service.
• Crypto. If the recipient can accept crypto, this can be a very cheap and fast option. However, the Central Bank of Jordan prohibits financial institutions from trading crypto but does not ban it at the retail level (i.e. customer to customer). Transferring a stablecoin such as USDT or BUSD can help mitigate the risk of the recipient losing money in a volatile market.
• Money orders. One of the oldest ways to send funds overseas. Once you buy the money order in Australia, you can send it to your recipient in Jordan through postal mail or courier services. The recipient can cash the money order at any post office.
• Money transfer agents. Located in most large towns and cities. Check that there is one near the recipient so they can collect the funds. Useful if the recipient has no bank account or wants to collect cash quickly.
• Prepaid cards. These can be loaded with cash and used to withdraw money at an ATM in Jordan. Check for any limitations on where the card can be used and how much cash can be withdrawn in one go or within a day. Unsuitable for remitting large amounts.
