Money transfer

November 23, 2011 4:54am CST
My dear Indian friends i want to know which is the reliable method to transfer money from India to philippines. There are so many methods are available like Western Union, money gram and money exchange. But they only prefer money transfer for medical and educational purposes i think you know that. I am really confused that some people are transferring through bank to bank transfer and some other methods. Whether it is really possible through bank to bank, fund transfer or international bank transfer or online transfer etc. I hope you will tell a clear solution that can help for all Indians.

I cant believe that western union is accepting transfer for educational or medical purposes only.A lot of my friends are using western union and they have nothing against it.As a matter of fact They that,my friends are using western union not only via India to Philippine money transfer. I think you should talk to the management,there maybe some misunderstanding..

Thank you for your opinion but you know i am going in and around 20 western union money transfer branches from yesterday morning. They are saying only thing that you should have a blood relation in particular country that i am going to transfer. When i am saying that going to put money for my workers, they suddenly refuse it and you can get help in any other branches. This is what happening from yesterday morning. Do your friends really transferring money to foreign from India?? I can't believe that i think they may have some relations or VISA cards for particular country.

I have heard and read about western union, u need have a blood relation for transferring. bank to bank wire transfer would be best, or try paypal. i think there will be some conversion methods.

yes, you can go for wire transfer. this is made from bank to bank.if you want to transfer money from india to philippines, then you should hold an account with a bank in india and the person to whom you want to transfer money should have an account with a bank in phillipines. bank to bank wire transfer is considered the most secured international payment method. The charges of wire transfer varies greatly depending on the country for which the transfer is being carried out.hope you got it!
