Western Union
Online FX is a smart alternative to bank wires for sending money internationally. This service offers
bank to bank transfers using an online account. That means your recipient will receive the money directly in their bank accounts and they do not need to have an account with us.
Not only do you save time doing it online because you don't have to go to the bank and stand in line, you'll get your fees** and foreign exchange rates quoted BEFORE you confirm your transfer!
