Western Union

Okay so Western Union is a godsend to people who have family or loved ones in other countries. Using their online service you are able to get money quickly to the people that need it. Both I and Bhel have been very grateful for Western Union services.

A couple of quick things that people should be aware of:

1: Western Union makes its money off from the exchange rate, and off the service be at the time you place your transfer. Oftentimes the exchange rate offered by Western Union will be slightly lower than the International Bank exchange rate. It's never an incredible amount but if you're pinching pennies it is noticeable.

2: money transferred is nearly instantaneous, I found that transfers are ready for pick up sold them more than minutes after I placed the transfer.

3: some pickup locations may attempt to charge an additional amount as a pickup fee, this is not something that Western Union doesnd is solely on the pick up location.
