Germany serves as a home away from home for many Non-Resident Indians. It offers an unmatched lifestyle, excellent education and access to world-class business and career opportunities. For Indians living and working in Germany, there are many ties to home - financial and emotional.

One of the best ways to send money from Germany to India is via a DBS Treasures NRE account. With this account, you can send money to your family in India for a host of expenses such as home maintenance fees, bill payments or monthly family expenses.
