  • 💰Send larger amounts less often to minimize per-transfer fees.
  • 🏦Wise is usually best for rate; IME or Prabhu for speed + Nepal cash pickup.
  • 📱Set up rate alerts on Wise or Remitly to send when NPR is strong.
  • 🧾Keep records of all transfers for tax purposes in your country of residence.
