Oh a Ballymena man trying to find the cheapest way to do things

The exact name of it escapes my memory but it is in Belfast near HMV and across the road from a filipino cafe in the Inn Shops. They are very friendly and helpful but i know it goes through a bank in London also.

Hi Guys,

Do you know want PNB in London is like, how long they take?

I know they are cheap £7 as my gf has a PNB account in Lucena.

I normally use Xoom who are very reliable and fast but last month, i wanted to send her 35k pesos and it cost 42k!! not good, so basically £70 to do a money transfer.

CRAZY

Your advice is welcomed as always

Hi Dave,

I have just found the receipt of the place i used in Belfast so here is the website.

just to add my tupence worth.

used xoom a few times, its slow (3-4 days) and expensive.

used western union, very expensive (30quid) but VERY fast (10minutes) you can send US dollars also which is good if she is flying out of the phil. and obviously western union shops everywhere.

now i use the manilla supermarket (upstairs) in earls court. I do it in person, costs 6quid & is there the next day. I'm sure you can call them up and send over the phone - but you would probably need to visit first to set up the account (id & utility bill).

you can also reload smart/globe phones there.

We pay the money into barclays (no acc required) and they send it to PNB..In R.P following day ..7 pounds.

Hmmm, I&#39;ve used Xoom many times, and on every occassion, the money has been ready for pick-up within a few minutes. Elsa also uses Xoom weekly (to send money to her Metrobank account and her family) and she also says its almost instant when processing.

Instantly available from the bank, but if you want home-delivery, it may take a few days?
