Money Transfer to Philippines Made Easy Instructions
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
From outside the PhilippinesActually she doesn’t even need a bank account if using xoom.com She can go to any Lhuillier pawn shop or any BDO bank with the xoom.com transaction #, her photo ID and her “secret” word given to her by the sender and they will give her the money. I am 100% sure she knows where the nearest Lhuillier pawn shop is located. Let’s just hope your (her) new cell phone doesn’t end up back in the pawn shop when she needs money.
If the sender uses a credit card for payment to xoom.com the money will be available in a matter of hours, if the sender is having funds withdrawan from his bank account it could take up to a week.
Much less costly to provide money than mailing a phone that might or might not be operable in the RP.
