Haven't done it, but do the e-payment schemes work in other countries? We send money to our grandkids in the US all the time that way.

does she have an account there?

I did a google to see if there are other ways:

he best way to send money from the US to Denmark is using specialized transfer services like Wise or Xe because they offer low fees and real mid-market exchange rates.Top Transfer ServicesWise: Best overall for transparency and mid-market exchange rates with low upfront fees. As noted by YouTube, “Wise is recommended as a safe and secure method for transferring money from the US to Denmark with low fees and the mid-market exchange rate.” You can fund transfers via bank transfer, debit card, or wire. [1] (https://wise.com/us/send-money/send-money-to-denmark), [2] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PlKi5GUrkQ&t=53)Xe: Best for fast, same-day delivery options with competitive conversion rates. According to Xe, “Sending money to Denmark (DKK) from United States (USD) can take between just minutes up to 3 business days, depending on your payment method.”Revolut or OFX: Great alternative multi-currency platforms for digital app-based transfers or larger amounts. [1] (https://www.revolut.com/en-US/money-transfer/send-money-to-denmark/), [2] (https://www.ofx.com/en-au/send-money/usa-to-denmark/)Traditional OptionsInternational Bank Wires: Traditional banks like Bank of America let you send wires directly, but they usually charge higher exchange rate markups and hidden intermediary fees.

When my daughter did her study abroad, we used revolut.com, I don't think they charged ATM fees, if you remain within certain limits, but she mostly used her debit card, as she did side trips to Sweden, Norway, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, England...

@Mindful She was enrolled at the U. of Copenhagen at the time.
No...but I have sent money to a Nigerian Prince with a promising diamond mine.
He said the best way was nonsequential, unmarked bills.

No one's ever asked me from Denmark, though 🤷‍♂

In all seriousness, your bank could advise you best.
My 1st thought was western union or a wire transfer.

It's probably a scam, but use World Remit if its not

@Midlifemale thank you. I just checked. They don't have Denmark on their list :-(
