    The only real bit of work you need to do is for ID purposes, you just need a letter from a professional just to confirm who you are. The form they send you is easy to fill out, mine was done in 3 days. Then when you want to make a transfer, you call them up, confirm who you are, and use your debit card to send the money. It costs £6 per transfer, but is deposited instantly. As Steve would say... 'simples'

    I worry about the xx.00 points a few weeks back it was 65 peso and a best transfer rate of 63 peso!

    Right now 71.39 minus 2 today on Paypal.

    A question for the Western Union guys what were your Fee's apart from the exchange rate?

    depends on the amount Jim...

    so if it's like £100 to about £300 , you're looking at £9.90 for next day (actually 36 hr) or about £14 or £15 for minutes

    but they INCREASE as the amount to be sent increases!

    Hi,
    If you use WU a lot better to get a gold card they give good discounts on the sending rate £4.90 next day for over £200... But not sure about the instant send rate with the card.
