Sending money home

[joebloggs]

Open an account with Nationwide Building Society and get a CASH CARD.

Send the card to a relative in Phil, call them and give them the PIN.

If they go to an ATM with the VISA symbol they will be able to draw,. No charges to you or in Phil and the very best excavation rates (a fraction less than the inter-bank rate)

I have an on line facility. When I want to send money, I transfer the amount to the 'Phil' account (I have three accounts). We call Phil and immediately they can draw the money.

I don't think anyone can beat that, but if you can let us all know.

that depends on if your wife/gf has a visa yet,

good thing about PNB is they send you a statement showing you've sent money to your wife/gf in the phils which can be used as good evidence your in a 'genuine relationship'

Doesn't make any difference as your statements will show which ATM the money was withdrawn from.

One reason why we don't do it this way is that Nationwide won't let me open a cash card account anyway. Though I am also surprised to see an ex-policeman recommend sending an ATM card in your name through the post to the Philippines to be used by someone else.

a statement addressed to you, showing someone has used a card in the phils

you cannot compare that to a statement showing my name and address, the name and the address of the person in the phils you sent the money to

i've used PNB statements for all my visa apps and not one problem
thou other remits statements might be just as good
