I need your help. Western Union Sucks...
« on: August 04, 2007, 05:42:33 PM »
I was about to send 200 dollars to my girlfriend in the U.S. today right here from Bangkok through Western Union. But after I signed up their form and saw the sending payment, I ran away from Western Union.

They would charge me 40 dollars for a 200-dollar money transfer. Western Union is too greedy!

My dilemma now is how I can send 200 dollars to the U.S. without passing through Western Union.

Grabi sad ng 40 dollars for 200 dollars, diri sa amo gani nga 9 dollars lang for 1000 dollars... try kuno ask sa mga banko ug unsay maayong paagi na madali aside western union. kay ang uban naay for pick up sa pinakadool na banko pero hindi alam kung available bana sa imong lugar karon.

It's really true na ang Western Union is very expensive in terms of charges.  I came from Saudi American Bank where money transfer thru Western Union is one among our services.

I don't mean nga it's greed that permitted them to impose such. It is the QUALITY of the service that would justify for the high fees.  Imagine, it would only take a minute or few seconds after having the transaction to have your beneficiary receive the funds?  Asa man ka kakita ana nga service?

Kining serbisyoha para ni sa mga pang emergency.  Like what happened to me when I was travelling to Rome from Barcelona nga pagmata nako gikawat na akong mga butang ( kay naghagok man nga wala malock akong coach sa hotel train ), pag abot nako didto wa gyod koy maduulan mao nga nagpadala nalang ko ug kwarta sa Western Union from my mom and sis in the USA, abot gyod dayon.  So nasolve ako problema.

Kasaligan ang Western Union baya. pero kon wala ka magdali, send your funds through the normal o regular channel.

Western Union is expensive gyud! Here in Norway, they would charge 10% of the principal amount which is 1000 Norwegian Crowns. Maayo lang ang Western Union kung para emergency pero kung dili better send it through regular banks. Mike, try pag open ug netbank, it's much cheaper...ambot diha sa Bangkok ug pareho ra ba kay dire 30 crowns ra gyud and charge irregardless kung pila ang kuarta nga ipadala.

tinood jud na mahal ang western union, halos 4 yrs na mi ana gagamit, pero bisag mahal sulit man pod kay dawat agad man ang kuarta.  kung magpadala mi ug $200, ang fee ana is $22 (kana kung dili pinaagi sa online), but if you send it online, mas mahal pa jud.  sa $100 online, ang bayad ana is $20, whereas ug sa mga agents ka ang bayad is $15.  ang gibuhat namo is, nag open ko ug checking accout dire then, gipadala nako sa akong family dinha ang debit card.  so mas gamay ra ang charge kaysa western union, ang fee is for the dollar conversion fee ra.  ang nakadiperensiya lang kay dili makuha dayon (kana kung wala ka igo igo na pondo sa imong checking accout, what i mean ug modeposito pa ka).  maghulat pa ka kung kanus a ipost sa banko (ug ideposit nimo ang kuarta after 2 pm, iprocess na siya for the next business day), unlike sa western union na kuha dayon several minutes after naprocess ang transaction.

I never tried this way thru Western Union after reading the agreement and the expensive payment for money transfer. 

Why not making Bank to Bank transfer?.... here in our place, we mostly do it with the PCIBank Express Padala...it needs only 3 days

and they charge only 7,50 EURO from the amount of 50,00Euro up to 500.00.

must have  to send a monthly amount for my mothers medications and some other needed requirements over there.  if u will do the same regularly, let ur gf open an account to any bank of your trust and i am sure they will ready to assist and help u.  that's their business.

ang akoa bitaw style happy no, usahay mogamit ko ug western union kung dinalian jud.  pero mao ni gibuhat nako.  nag open ko ug laing checking account sa among bank.  si gi issuehan ko ug debit card.  kadtong gi issue nila nga debit card, ako to siyang gipadala sa akong bro sa pinas.  then kada deposit nako (kay wa man ta ani pondo lagi), akong pahibaw on akong bro nga nagsud na ko ug kuarta.  so iya rang icheck ang account balance ug nasud na ba.  mokuha ra ang bank nako ug dollar conversion fee + foreign atm bank usage.  mas gamay ra jud icompare sa western union.  kaso lang kinahanglan ideposit nimo sa buntag jud para makuha nila pagkahapon or pagkagabii didto sa pinas.

I am luckier in this aspect.  I have a friend in Cagayan de Oro who does remittances.  He only charge 6 dollars for up to 500 dollar remittance and 8 dollars over 500.  He has a Washington Mutual account so that's where I deposit my payment.  Sometimes, I don't have time to go to Washington Mutual, I would just tell him I would deposit on the weekend.  I had my sisters in Bohol and Davao open a BPI or PCIB accounts and so my friend can just do online transfer.
