heyya scotts dont forget to mention there is only one teller there & they really slow

I work just round the corner from there, you should have mentioned you'd be in town

[scotsfiancee]

Hahahha you're right.And the teller is pregnant baboyako, her name is Luzcille.

No it wasn't busy when i was there, silly i made a mistakes in my beneficiary's middle name and she can't get the GMFC in local branch becoz of that and so i went back again to their office and ammended it, glad its fix now.

[andypaul]

Walk past there all the time.

If your from out of town, you can make a big day out of it.

St pauls is around the corner and the millienium bridge is nearby and the number 15 bus (worth taking instead of the open air bus will take you past many of the major tourist areas in london)
That or walk along the river if the weather is nice.

My fiancee had been sending me money thru PNB GFMC card since 2006 and yes it is cheaper and it arrives quickly. My fiancee normally rings the bank at 10:00 a.m (UK Time) and I get the money midnight Philippine Time. Well, I dont need to go to the ATM Machine to check but I can check it online thru PNB Website so less hassle. Unlike when we were still using other banks before the earliest was 5 days but there was a time that it took a month when my name was misspelled.

Yep, it certainly works well and quickly ... I've already moved over half a million pesos using GFMC. Instructions to make a remittance can also be given online and by sms, although all are handled manually in the London branch, so are not effected until the staff are in the bank.

i've transfered more than 4m php over about 7 years using PNB, only once did i have a problem, when my wife didn't get the money, i phoned PNB, they said they never recieved it in their natwest account,after more calls to PNB , and not getting anywhere, i contacted my bank, they said the money had been transfered, my bank even gave me the telephone number for the natwest branch where the money was transfered to, i phoned them, but they wouldn't tell me if they had received the money i had transfered to their branch , so i went back to my bank who put a trace on the money, and I phoned PNB again, telling them this, and later on they phoned me, saying there was a mistake and apologised,, the fools sent my wife the money twice, they took one lot back, pitty my wife didn't get to it quick enough ... never been treated so badly by a bank b4..
