I have now used Wise for the transfer and had very little issue, they did hold a payment while I provided some indentity information , but thats all, I did also try a telegraphic transfer via my bank and that that payment lost a chunk of money getting there, so Wise would be how i would suggest others look at as well. Of course, anyone moving money across the world should do their own research and I would high recommend doing small test transfers  (I did $250 transfers) to make sure it all works before doing a large transfer.
