It is more convenient and a lot faster. Been using it for a while and got no problem with it.

Check the fees first. You can send money online with Xoom too, and it is cheaper.

Moneygram works pretty well for us. The fee is a flat $10 at WallMart. Check to see if there are places to get a moneygram where you are sending.

Western Union is little bit expensive than Xoom or Moneygram.

Compare fees from these 3 service providers.

My husband and I use Xoom to send money to the Philippines.

And there are some coupons available and being posted here in VJ to slash few bucks from the transfer fee.

I have used both (online and in person) with no problems.. Online is much more expensive with Western Union though.

I send my wife money every two weeks and I use www.remithome.com. These guys are fantastic and very professional. The fee is 8 dollars for each transactions u to $2,500 dollars. You can have it delivered door to door, have it scheduled to be picked up at a bank or just deposited into their bank account. They can even set up reoccuring transactions for you. I really like these guys and have been using them for the last year and a half. Most western union pick up is at a pawn shop and its not very safe.

I also have another vendor you can use as well. Try WWW.XOOM.COM. These guys only charge 3 to 5 dollars a transaction but you get less favorable exchange rate. They have the same service as the remithome.

I find that these two vendors are best for sending cash to the philippines and very reliable.

I have used western union online, but they are more expensive than sending western union from my bank. I just gave Mhay an ATM card and then it was better...less fees until they started doing the fee at the ATM. My bank would only charge 1% of the transaction to withdraw money out of an ATM.

I just sent $500 to Milagros for final expenses before she leaves in 3 weeks.. No problems at all, westernunion.com is fast & easy.. :thumbs:

The best way to send moneygram....is to send it in US dollars...then they can exchange it at the current rate instead of having Moneygram give you a lower exchange rate!

She could get an extra 300-400 pesos if sending $300 in US funds instead of sending pesos!

BTW...Walmart rate is $9.00 on sending $200 and it is $10 if sending $300.

Better to send $300!!! she'll be happier too....
