A telegraphic transfer refers to the process of transferring funds from one country to another, with the intention of crediting the funds to a bank account in the recipient's country. This method is commonly used for international money transfers, allowing individuals or businesses to send money securely and quickly to another country. Unlike cash payments or cheques, which are physical forms of payment, a telegraphic transfer involves the electronic transfer of funds, ensuring the recipient has access to the money in their bank account.

Sending money by a telegraphic transfer has several advantages. Firstly, it is a secure way to send money, ensuring that the funds reach the intended recipient without any risk of interception or loss. Secondly, it is a quick way to send money, with funds typically being credited within 2-3 business days. Additionally, there are no age or credit restrictions on who can send a transfer, making it accessible to a wide range of individuals. Therefore, all of the given options are advantages of sending money by a telegraphic transfer.
