There are a few alternatives to using an online money transfer service when sending money to Morocco. One option is to use a traditional bank transfer. Another option is to use an over-the-counter money transfer agent.

• Bank transfer. Convenient but more expensive and generally slower than an international money transfer service.
• Money orders. One of the oldest ways to send money, paper money orders are also one of the slowest. Once the recipient receives the money order, they can cash it in.
• Money transfer agents are located in most large towns and cities. Check that there is one near the recipient so they can collect the funds.
• Prepaid cards. Transaction limits, such as how much can be loaded and how much can be withdrawn per day, make prepaid cards impractical for large amounts.
