Xoom is a great way to send money to The
Philippines. The cash can be picked up at over 400
Equitable PCI Bank locations. FREE delivery is also
available in many areas. Xoom
is much less than Western Union especially on small amounts like
under $200 the fee is usually half that of Western Union (i.e.
send $50 for only a $5 fee). Even on larger amounts the
savings are substantial and in many cases the locations are much
more convenient as Equitable PCI Bank has branches in small
towns and shopping areas all over The Philippines. While
you need Internet access and a bank account or credit/debit card
to make a transaction, the recipient does not need either a bank
account or Internet connection to get the money. You will
receive an email notification when the money has been delivered
or picked up.
They have an arrangement with PayPal to
actually transfer the money. PayPal offers ease and
flexibility, accepting all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard,
Discover, and American Express), as well as all major debit
cards and direct transfers. PayPal successfully completes over
600,000 transactions per day with over 30 million accounts in 38
countries worldwide. I have used PayPal for six years without
even a single problem - I highly recommend them. And
Equitable PCI Bank is very respectable Bank in Philippines so
use the Xoom
service with confidence. Go
Xoom
