So much of motherhood is the quiet, behind-the-scenes stuff - remembering birthdays, keeping the household running. For us, it’s also managing money across two countries.
We just got back from 5 weeks in the UK for the summer holidays, and it reminded me how much of that admin I carry without really thinking about it.
The 3 things I use MariBank Overseas Transfer for:
1️⃣ Birthday money for the nieces and nephews back home – instant transfers to UK, China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Canada, so they get it on the day without any belated guilt for me
2️⃣ Our UK mortgage - paid from Singapore with no transfer fees, so I send it whenever the rate is good instead of waiting for one big transfer
3️⃣ Travelling abroad – when I needed to move money from Singapore to the UK mid-trip this summer, it landed in my account before I’d even put my phone down!
$0 transfer fee, instant to 6 different countries. I can’t outsource the mental load, but managing our finances is now a lot easier!
