    There's always got to a first time to try.
    It looks well worth one too.
    Just try for a smallish amount and see how it works out overall.

    Everyone has their own loyalty.
    But in these times of 'hard-nose' business economics you would be wise to satisfy yourself that both the exchange rate and the charges/fees give you a comfortable feeling.

    Also get a feeling for how customer-centric they are. Sometimes worth paying for a simple, pleasant, trouble-free and efficient service.

    You may well need to satisfy their anti money-laundering procedures so don't leave it until an emergency crops up.

    Then let me have your review

    Had never heard of this company until I read it on here so had a quick look at them , I've just sent a little load to my wifes mobile just to see if it works , compared to the fees western union charge for sending money this worldremit looks so much better . I must have gave western union 100s of pounds over the last few years . This company could have safes me a few quid

    I've seen this World Remit add on a filipino newspaper that i picked from pinoy shop, and thought to give it a go, i just sent a little amount to my sister over christmas and she got it with no hassle from M Lhuillier. World Remit messaged me on phone about the money been picked up as well. Will definitely use them in the future.

    Thanks for the info LeeRose
    Much appreciated.

    Some folks have reported issues with a couple of 'agents' being very pedantic about ID and correct names, but I guess that's more a local issue confined to personal pick-up.
    Just need to be careful with ID and names to avoid delays.

    Your Welcome Terpe,
    yeah i think you'll just need to make sure that u have the correct ID and name to avoid delays of pick up..
    I've been using western union but their charge is a bit high so i switched to moneygram but recently found out about world remit which doesn't seem to charge much with the amount you send and i can do it online as well which is much easy.

    My first transaction with them is flawless, but I had a little problem on my second attempt wherein I accidentally selected Cebuana Lhuillier as the collecting agent. They are very keen with the details, especially the name of the recipient. Anyway, it got resolved after I contacted their support.

    I still prefer using a prepaid debit card in sending money to family in Pinas, it's hassle-free and very safe.
