This subject rarely get a quick, to the point answer !!
well, we are here everyday and we get replies quick to some posts so i just wondered. it's ok, i give them replies too as quickly as 5 mins after their post--i know i'd get a reply within a day

as i searched the forum, most of the posts were from husbands or boyfriends sending to their girls to philippines so a lot of them got their UK banks already. some use western union which charges a lot. xoom is cheaper. these are common services they use..

some pinays sending home are mostly OFWs so they got bank accounts already in UK, it may be PNB or others. and as i read...opening accounts take time too.
