Western Union, No Fee - Bank Transfer

[Tukaram (Tim)]

I don't think this is a brand new thing, I know I did it last month.  But I just got an email from Western Union bragging about like it is special.  Whether it is new or not it is a good service.  If you x-fer money to a bank instead of personal pickup you can do it with no transaction fee.  The exchange rate is not too bad either.  I just did a x-fer and got 43.1738 per $1 USD.  In comparison XOOM is offering 42.6007 today, and a $4.99 fee (free codes are available).

 

 Western union has a $9.00 (USD) fee for personal pickup. But for next day bank delivery there is no fee.

 

I don't like to keep much money over here so I send myself a monthly allowance. I just keep about 1 month ahead in case there is an emergency some money is here.  I never keep more than p50,000 in my bank here.  With next day bank delivery I don't have to plan too far ahead.

 

I know, I know.... set up a dollar account and a peso account and x-fer to the dollar account and then convert to peso when the rate is good... I keep meaning to do that... I am just so busy being retired and lazy I have not gotten around to it yet  ha ha  :tiphat:
