sending money to the philippines...?

Question

hi...what is the best way to send money to the philippines from the US...economical, safe, fast, etc.? and how much do they charge?

Answer 1

If you open a Citibank account here in the US you can go to Citibank here and order a CITIBANK MONEY CARD for your fiancee it is just like ATM.

Once you order it in 5 days they will send the money card to her and she have to tell you what's the number on it. Once you got the number of the money card you can just go to Citibank ATM and you can send her money through your Citibank checking account to her money card.

you can send her $1-$2000 for only $8. And if you want to send more money than that in one day just make sure they withdraw the previous money the you just send.

Western Union. The rates depend on the amount of money you send and the prevailing exchange rate for the dollar/peso.

Of all things you wanted, the most important is SAFE. I would suggest you send through the bank.
