Hey HN! Is it worth sending a small amount first to before sending a large amount through an international wire transfer? Or it's a stupid thing to do?

    Depends on how you define large and how large the transaction costs are! Personal advice: If you do this stuff more often you should look into special companies which are good at this (surprise... banks are often not very good at this)

    In which country are you? To which country do you want to send the money?
