yes you are wrong!! ... I had a quick look at hsbc website and its £5 pound for hsbc advance customers ... http://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/internatio...ansfer/details
,its actually cant be higher than the rate of BPI and PNB online remittance transactions ..btw, talking about world remit just like any other bank their rates will be subjected to change.''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''

Hello Everyone, I use money gram in sending money to the Philippines via post office, now I just had a look and it says you can send online too. Just thinking that will save me going to the town, I would like to ask does any one here in the forum use or tried money gram online?
I am not sure if it's safe or not.
Thank you.

I use Western Union online. So far never had any problem. Money will be delivered in a minute or can opt to send it directly into their bank account.
I just found this works perfectly for me.

My experience = worldremit is by far the easiest cheapest and safest method i have used. Bank transfers take sometimes only 20 minutes and are cleared costing about £1.90 for under £100 -also mobile phone top ups are instant almost and again cost little. I use the service regularly now after having used banks and then Western Union which is a real bind sometimes due to the efforts to check security.

Ditto to previous reply I endorse worldremit is by far the easiest secure and well priced I have used. It can also top up mobile phones in any country.
