    i use the global pinoy card for my parents via pnb.

    all i needed was a bank account (any bank), show them proof of address and i was up and going. they sent my parents an atm card where i can load money up and they can get it after a day. remittance fee is £5.50 and they have pretty good exchange rate as well.

    Just used western union to send some money and the exchange rate is 66.5623 with no transaction charge to the Philippines at the moment. I think that's quite good.

    That's a really great promo deal from WU as support due to the typhoon.

    I doubt anyone can find a better deal anywhere.

    This promo will continue until 21st December 2012
    (That date rings a bell )

    So if anyone's considering sending money do it now via WU
    No fees and exhange rate at interbank rate.

    Well spotted Marco
