Atm Withdrawals

Better idea! keep aways from the ATM`s alltogether!!!! have you tried getting to see someone in the bank? i was given special treatment because i was `the foreigner` and in the end i said forget it and i will learn my lesson! WU may be expensive, but is a very good service and available anywhere - even in Surigao!!!!

Western Union is very reliable,and though its around 12 pound to send in minutes,at least i get peace of mind knowing my gf is recieving safely.But last week i was asking how much to send 475.00 in a few weeks,and was quoted 540.00!!, thats a lot of extra money i cant afford .

I remember my first trip to the Philippines, my NatWest debit card clammed up on me for the whole duration of my stay, unable to access any money (luckily I had a credit card). I remember phoning NatWest asking them what was going on, they blamed the banking system in Philippines. You know what, the banks in Philippines blamed NatWest. Moral of the story, take more than 1 source of money with you when you go to Philippines.
