Europe attracts people from all over the world seeking to pursue a world-class education or a better career or for business. The continent is also home to NRIs who have retained strong ties with their homeland – both financial and emotional. To fulfil their commitments in India, NRIs frequently transfer money from Europe to India. One of the easiest ways to send money and manage expenses in India is to send it to an NRE account.
A DBS Treasures NRE account makes it easy to receive inward remittances from Europe regardless of the purpose of the transfer. You may send money to an NRE account for expenses as diverse as school fees, monthly family expenses, property deals, bill payment, donations etc.
An NRE account comes with various inward remittance benefits including:

Some of the options are foreign demand-drafts, SWIFT-based online remittance or bank-to-bank transfers to send money from Europe to India. Online remittances into your NRE account are faster and there is no limit on the funds that you can send.
