Western Union fees...

Is there no cheaper way to send money? It does seem a lot to transfer a small amount. Wouldn't be so bad if it was that for trasferring £50 or more.

I often transfer GBP to the Philippines for my business, I use HSBC and do a direct transfer between a UK-based and an RP-based HSBC account. They charge me a flat rate of £15 irrespective of the amount.

PNB EUROPE, is the way to go, if you are in it for the long haul. Their online remittance facility.

£5.00 to send to an account
£8.00 for the money to be picked up

That is any amount up to £10,000.

When I was getting married, I sent about 500 quid by moneygram, cost me £36.00 Infact I did it twice.

Western Union fees are pretty much the same as moneygram I think?

Yep PNB is £5:00 for on line transfers and the money's in the account the next day. Ive tried a few remittance companies but PNB is definitely both the cheapest & most reliable.

I use Allied Bank, set up with on-line banking, £5 a transaction with no limit what you send, only slight draw back is takes 6-8working days but no problem if you set up a standing order or plan in advance....
