money tranfers

[sparky]

hi whats the best way to send money to the philippines , or is there a bank that i can have accounts here and there and just transfer that way , i have looked but all want to much money to do this , i hate giving them money when i know my partner wants it more, steve

you can do a transfer to her account from yours the charges vary from bank to bank tho.

mine charges £10 but they convert into pesos at this end so they make money both ways

might be worth sending in sterling but watch out for a higher transfer cost they get you all bloody ways-i have been sending £1,000 a month recently and along with the declining pound my mrs has been getting less everytime- tho i think she thinks i am getting meaner

an WU are as bad- the higher the amount you send the higher their charges
