Who transfers US dollars to Israeli shekels?
Property buyers from the United States
More foreign buyers of Israeli property come from the US than any other country. Each milestone in a new-construction purchase is a separate USD to ILS conversion, so the rate at every Shovar payment matters. Adesco manages each one, same-day via Zahav, with no deadline risk.
Families sending regular support
American families supporting relatives in Israel send regular shekel transfers for living costs, rent, or care. Each transfer carries an embedded bank markup that compounds over the year. Adesco clients save up to 4,000 NIS per $100,000 transferred versus a typical bank.
US-based businesses with Israeli operations
Companies paying Israeli employees, contractors, or suppliers in shekels convert USD to ILS regularly. Adesco supports business accounts with the same published rates, same-day processing, and a named advisor who knows your file — so payroll and vendor payments are never held up.

Why thousands of clients use Adesco for USD/ILS transfers
Licensed and regulated
Adesco is licensed by the Israel Capital Market, Insurance, and Savings Authority (License 57103). Every transfer is AML and KYC compliant and reported to Israeli regulators.
Same-day transfers
Adesco's compliance is pre-approved with Israeli banking partners, so transfers are not held up by routine reviews. Funds arrive the same day, versus three to seven business days at a bank.
Better rates, no hidden fees
Adesco offers market-based exchange rates with a published spread and no hidden fees. No wire fees, no receiving fees, no markup buried in the conversion — the rate you see is the rate you get.
Your funds are safe
Client funds are held in segregated trust accounts at major Israeli banks, never mixed with Adesco's operating funds, and never lent or invested. No credit risk, no liquidity risk.
A real person knows your file
Every Adesco client has a dedicated advisor who knows their file from day one. You never explain your situation from scratch, and you always reach a real person who knows you.
