Having money wired from home using one of the companies listed in this Guide is never convenient or cheap, and should be considered a last resort. It's also possible to have money wired directly from a bank in your home country, although this is somewhat less reliable because it involves two separate institutions. If you go this route, your home bank will need the address of the branch bank where you want to pick up the money and the address and telex number of its head office, which will act as the clearing house; money wired this way normally takes two working days to arrive, and costs around £25/$40 per transaction.
