By Lyn Stern

The wire transfer world has changed substantially since it first began. Between the internet boom and the widespread use of global cell phones, there are now tons of businesses trying to figure out how to make it easier to wire money anywhere from Canada to Brazil.

Several top money transfer services are prospering, even despite the declining economy across the globe. Many of those businesses are also connecting with leading banks so customers can transfer money from the convenience of their own bank. And with other markets arising, more traditional wire transfer services are keeping up by partnering up with banks so their services would be offered alongside that banks existing services.

It is still unknown how pre-paid credit cards and web-based wire services will work out over time, but the prevalence of those pre-paid cell phones and credit cards is sure to the wire transfer world.

Many banks are noticing customer appeal with cell phones that make it easier to transfer money. Right now, only the iPhone is able to store credit card information for future purchases, but in time other wireless companies will join in.

Despite the fragile economy, money transfer services continue in their success. And with so many more money transfer options, businesses expect to see change late in 2012.

If you needed to transfer money to Canada, the clearest option would be a bank or a trusted wire service. However, the future of wire transfer and bill paying services looks positive as many other options are in the developmental stages. The only big concern is making sure it is a safe, secure option.

One huge roadblock for money transfer companies will be uniting the globe as a whole. Both banks and governments would need to agree on a set of regulations to cast on service providers across the globe. And until the entire world gets on the same page, the options are sparse.

So if you need to send money to Canada, your best bet is to use a wire service to transfer bank-to-bank, or a location-based service. Whichever option you choose, rest assured; your delivery will arrive wherever and whenever you please.
