Message From Our Editor

What we love about Xoom Money Transfer

Xoom makes it very convenient for Americans and Canadians to send money internationally, allowing payments to more than 130 countries across the globe. It also offers multiple ways to send funds, such as electronic transfers, leaving cash for pickup at a physical location, or even a cash delivery to the recipient’s door. Xoom also offers features that let you pay bills internationally.

You can send money using Xoom even if you don’t have a bank account.

What could Xoom Money Transfer do better?

There are drawbacks to using Xoom to send money internationally.

One of the main issues with Xoom is its cost. When you send money, you pay a per-transaction fee. The size of the fee depends on the funding source you use. Sending from a bank account is cheaper than sending from a debit card. The exact fee will vary with the amount that you’re sending and the country you’re sending money to.

Xoom also limits the amount that you can send at one time and each month. Level 1 users can send only $2,999 per transaction, $6,000 per 30 days, and $9,999 per 180 days. Increasing these limits requires going through an identity verification process.

Xoom Money Transfer‘s backstory

Xoom was founded in San Francisco, California in 2001 and has offices in Guatemala. PayPal acquired the company in 2015 for just over $1 billion to strengthen its international business and to give Xoom users access to Paypal’s financial infrastructure.

The Verdict

Xoom is a convenient way to send money to people internationally. You can do it directly from your computer or your phone. However, that convenience comes at a price. If you’re willing to pay for easy transfers, Xoom is a fine choice but there are less expensive alternatives out there.
