well of course its a business, but very bad for ofw's kung mag pada ka ug US$100 - US$15 (service charge) - 15% (sa receiver) = US$70 nalang?! ah jawa ra!

nahitabo na ni last week akng migo nag remit para sa iyang family mao na pag abot sa pinas gi kargahan iyang mrs. pwerting sokoa lagi ni feedback dayon sa akng ate iyang mrs. so ang maayo ihug nalang jud sa banko kung naay branch ang inyong banko sa gawas kung wala na! take it or leave it nalang!

If you have relatives or family members in the US, try Wells Fargo there. I am not sure kung free pa ba karun. I have a relative who send me money and thru Wells Fargo in the US to BPI/BPI Savings Bank. At that time, free of charge basta from US to the Philippines. Try to ask your family member/relatives in the US to inquire with Wells Fargo. Here you can inquire with BPI/BPI Family Bank. Kung na-a man charge, gamay ra siguro. Your family member/relative can send you money thru Wells Fargo to BPI even if you don't have an account with BPI. But i suggest that you open an account with BPI para automatic na ma credit sa imu account. By the way, almost forgot to tell you, automatic na convert from Dollar to Peso kung musulod sa imu account or over the counter nimu kuhaun ang kwarta. I hope helpful ni para sa mga family with OFW in the US.

Ok heres the update! Im now in totally confuse

I have a friend who remit a money(US$1k) this morning in hk thru w.u., so far nadawat daw tanan service charge lang daw kono iyang nabayran and its only US$4 ra.... so OK!

But in my supervisor's case nagpada cya ug US$5k pero gideductionan cya ug US$200 pagdawat sa iyang mrs.?!

Now can someone clarify what the hecks goin on?
