i tried it in our local post office, but sometimes when theis system is down you cant send money. i still prefer sending money via PNB it gets there in minutes as well

I tried it when I first arrived here. The rate is low, the fee is too high and my benificiary said, it takes ages to get the money in the bank because of queue.
Then I searched the web and found Iremit and xoom. I tried to compute sending xoom against Iremit and found that Iremit has better rate. That was according to my computation.:D

Yes Moneygram is too expensive, same sort of rates as Western Union.
It might be okay for emergencies, but not good in the longterm. :)

PNB or western union, There are more western unions around, but a little expensive. Moneygram, a bit slow and I see them in alot of post offices - what a wait!!!

While i was in Phils I opened a PNB account with my Mahal. When I got home I called up the PNB in London who sent me a remitter form which I filled out and sent back (also copy of my passport signed by my accountant)
It cost £6 to send I think up to £10,000 (i think) All I have to do is call up, give them my card details and whoooosh!! it is done in minutes.
Maybe going from PNB to a different bank in Phils might be slower, but PNB to PNB is instant.

That's just what I done. the missus had a different bank account at the time in phils and the only downside was the minimum balance of P5000 required for the new PNB account, but I think it was well worth it because with PNB to PNB it's just so fast, simple and secure.
