> I wish... but how do you transfer money internationally?
Wise.com. I lived abroad for a bit and relied entirely on Wise (well, they were called transferwise then). Could send money abroad faster than I could send funds to anybody in USA.
Of course, any international financial service is very KYC heavy and can suspend access to you/lock your funds at any time so always have a backup plan ready as wire transfers are really scary (foreign banks don't want to release funds? no recourse for you!)
