Send or transfer money to Botswana

You may get a shock just what the fees and charges will be and depending on the transfer amount, it might be better to have a look at the alternatives to forward the money using another method.

What makes it even worse is in addition to your financial institution imposing a fee for sending the funds to a place in Botswana, the person getting the transfer of money will possibly be charged a fee at their end. A way to reduce the likelihood of this charge is to remit the international wire transfer in their local currency.
