Hello . Can I help you , ma'am ?   Yes . Could you tell me how to send some money to someone with an account with a bank in Germany ?   Well , you can pay by mail , telegraphic or SWIFT transfer . Or you can have a banker's draft and mail it yourself to the beneficiary .   Which is the best way ?   It depends on the amount and how fast you want that person to receive the money . A SWIFT transfer is the fastest method but a banker's draft is usually the cheapest . How much do you wanna send ?   $ 800 .   Why don't you send it by mail payment order ?   How long does it take ?   About a week .   I don't know . Can I send it more quickly ?   Sure . You can have a Telegraphic or a SWIFT transfer .   And how long do those take ?   Both a Telegraphic Transfer and a SWIFT transfer will normally be credited to the payee's account within three or four working days , depending on whether the beneficiary's bank is among our correspondent banks or we have to route the transfer through a third bank .   I see . How can I pay by Telegraphic Transfer ?
