The Situation
He is a doctor. He works in New York but made aliyah 19 years ago and lives in Israel. His income comes in dollars. His life runs in shekels.
Every few months, he moves tens of thousands of dollars to Israel. Not a one-time event. A regular part of managing a life split across two countries.
For years, he had a transfer service he used. Then things started feeling off. Transfers slowed down. Reliability slipped. He stopped using them before the situation got worse.
He needed something new.
The Problem
The old service had started taking 2-5 business days to complete a transfer. And it was getting longer.
When you are managing a household budget across two countries, a delay like that is not just an inconvenience. If the Israeli bank account runs low and the wire takes five days, you are waiting.
Why Adesco
He needed a new way to convert and move money to Israel. A family friend made the introduction. That was enough to give it a try.
The Experience
The first transfer told him everything he needed to know.
He wired the money from his US bank and sent an email to Adesco. The next morning, the funds were in his Israeli account.
"I said to my wife, wow, it is here after a day."
He had not expected it to move that fast. The 2-5 day timeline he had lived with for years was simply gone.
What replaced it was a process he describes as literally seamless.
"I log in to my bank in the USA and send the funds. I then log in to my account at Adesco and create the request. The money moves. That's it."
The Result
Two things changed.
First, the cash flow problem went away. When the Israeli account runs low, he can move money and have it the next day. The 5-day waiting is gone.
"It makes it easier if the bank is running low and gives me peace of mind."
Second, the process itself stopped being a thing he thinks about. It takes minutes. There is no paperwork, no back-and-forth, no waiting to find out if it went through.
What He Tells Others
When friends ask why they should stop using their bank for transfers, his answer is direct.
"They are losing money on the bank rate, and Adesco is just so simple. It is a no brainer."
The difference between a bank wire and an Adesco transfer, in cost and in ease, is not subtle. Once you have seen it, it is hard to explain why anyone would go back.
