Welcome to the IsraTransfer Blog

Welcome to the IsraTransfer blog. For more than 18 years we've helped people move money to and from Israel — for buying a home, making aliyah, or simply managing life across borders. Along the way we've answered the same questions thousands of times, and we kept thinking the same thing: this should be written down somewhere clear, honest, and easy to find.

So here it is. This blog is where we'll put the guidance we'd give a friend who called and asked, "I'm sending money to Israel for the first time — what do I actually need to know?"

What we'll cover

We're starting with the topics our clients ask about most. Expect practical, jargon-free pieces on:

• Sending money to Israel — how transfers work, what affects the rate you get, and how to avoid the fees that quietly eat into large transfers.
• Buying property in Israel — the payment milestones, purchase tax, and timing your currency around a purchase.
• Making aliyah — the financial side of the move, from your first transfer to settling in.
• Understanding the shekel — what drives the USD/ILS and GBP/ILS rates, and what that means for your money.

How to read along

New posts will appear here on the blog index, newest first. Nothing here is personal financial advice — every transfer is different, and the minimum transfer we handle is $10,000 — so when you're ready to talk specifics, our team is a message away.

We're glad you're here. Welcome aboard.
