My husband's cousin wants to send him money to buy a jacket and then mail it to Brasil. What's the best way to send it? The cousin has Banco do Brasil and we have Bank of America/Wachovia.

I know you can send money via Western Union and anyone can pick it up at Banco do Brasil, regardless if you have an account there. Can you send money the opposite way, and if so where would we pick it up? Western Union?

M,

Fernanda said that you need to have an account at Banco do Brasil before you can send money to the US from Banco do Brasil.
