You can transfer funds to your Belize bank account (Belize Central Bank, pictured) via wire transfer. It is very simple. I think the cost for wire transfers are about CA $75, which is charged by the bank from where the money is being wired.

You can transfer funds to your Belize bank account (Belize Central Bank, pictured) via wire transfer. It is very simple. I think the cost for wire transfers are about CA $75, which is charged by the bank from where the money is being wired.
 
As an example, if you want to transfer funds from your Canadian bank account to your Belizean bank account, you have to contact you home branch and tell them that you want to initiate a wire transfer. You have to provide the routing information and swift codes and tell them the amount. It is preferable to make a transaction that is only up to US $5,000 because anything over that amount will require more paperwork. The bank would then start the wire to wherever you are sending it and move the funds to their intermediary bank. Because the funds land in Belize in Belizean dollars, they will do a foreign transaction to switch the currency so that the funds will arrive at the currency of your account.
 
The CA $4,500 that I send becomes just shy of BZ $9,000 less the wire transfer fee that the initiating bank took. It could take four to five working days to complete the transaction. There is a 2:1 fixed exchange rate between the US dollar and the Belizean dollar, which is permanent. US dollars are widely accepted in Belize so you can use them here.
