Just a quick QUESTION about BDO....

[=FoxyBLUE= 2]

I have a BDO Peso Savings Account...

Can my hubby send me money straight to my account? Coz eversince we've been using Western Union but the fee is so expensive.

So he tried Moneygram...I'm really having a hard time with all the docs and signature needed...i dont like it!

I just want him to deposit money straight to my BDO account.

Oh!my husband is in Tennessee right now, and most of the Subsidiaries and Remittance Partners of BDO are mosty in California...just one in Texas,Illinois,Las Vegas, Seattle...but no Tennessee...

I know it will cost us fees too...but i rather have it straight on my account that going to any MoneyGram or Western Union Centers.

Just asking.....still confuse!

Thanks! thanks! thanks!

hi mariel!

yes western union is pricy although xoom is great coz your hubby can just send it to your bank right away (3-5 days ata ang processing time but its cheaper maybe $3?) he can also wire the money in minutes thru xoom but its like $7-11? that was the quote i got before. BUT xoom is not permitted to do business in colorado banks thats why useless sa akin heheh (i tried it last dec. and it was a bummer for me)... but ever since 2006 my hubby and i are using ikobo money transfer (ikobo.com). ikobo will send you a visa debit in your name and you can use it to swipe anywhere that accept visa or you cash out from the ATM... cost will be $8 or less (or more) depending how much you send. i think $8 fee for up too $1000 that you send ata (i think)... its cheaper than western union. but there's a withdrawal fee as most cards are... he has to register and add some CC or DC for him to use every time he send you money... just try to visit ikobo.com see if you guys like it. practical for us. im using it for my mom now

kasi BISAYA ako!!! mag bisaya na nalang kaha ko noh? eheheh

kidding aside, yes your hubby can just go online and login to ikobo.com (pertaining he registered already) and he can send you money for as long as there's internet around and there's money on the card he's using... joke... meaning madali lng talaga sya... tsaka ok yung customer service nila pag may problema man... pwede sa chat or sa phone yung customer service

Mga Inday sa VJ,

Maraming salamat sa topic...pwede ko na ba sabihin OP or SO? hehehehehe.....a big help for me.!!!!!....baka mag file nang bankruptcy asawa ko kasi mahal ang Western Union.....so, if we say bank account here, is it the account should be in US Dollars? or the Peso account will do................hindi pa namin na try ang direct transfer to peso account for the reason.......

1) Western union/Moneygram has better rate from USD to Peso........ (at least the current market peso rate)

2) Banks i.e. BDO or every bank has their own dollar rate which is way lower than the market rate...at least P 7-10 a $....so malaki na rin yon di ba?..........

3) So, kung magpadala mga hubby namin from US to our Peso account pareho ba exchange rate?......every penny count na ngayon...lalo na recession...hehehe

Again, thanks for the information, it was very helpful..............

PS:

Mariel, pareho tayo BDO account holder so let me know which one works best for you, malapit na ma bankrupt hubby ko, baka di kami papasa for I-864 hehehehe...

GOD Bless!

Hi mariel mas mahal nga talaga pag western union...

sabihin mo na lang sa fiance mo na padalhan ka na lang ng card tapos un na lang gamitin mo dito sa pinas...Ung sa akin ung USAA card ng fiance ko ang pinadala nya sa akin tapos un ang ginagamit ko..

[steveee 0]

Sana kung may account sya sa wells fargo mas madali kasi pwedi ka nyang kuhaan ng remittance card (ATM) dito sa US tapos ipadala jan sayo sa pinas with pin number na, pwedi mong i withdraw sa bank na accredited nila BPI or sa ATM machine na may kapareho ng sign sa likod ng ATM card "like credit", pag magpadala libre lang tapos withdraw mo nalang jan sa pinas gamit ang ATM, kung may account sya sa wells fargo pwedi syang mag transfer online di na kailangan punta ng bank libre pa, yan ang ginamit ko noon pag transfer pwedi mo makuha agad, at pag alis mo pwedi mo na rin iwan sa kamag-anak for future use o di ba...bongga!!!
