If you want to send foreign currency from one country to another you need an international money transfer provider.
Money transfer companies offer exchange rates that are much better than banks and because they specialise in foreign exchange the process is much more user friendly. Most established currency brokers do not charge a commission or any fee for paying the money to an international beneficiary.
