i tried to use it...made an account and then when i went to use it say said i had to verify my account. so i went to verify it and afterwards they said my account couldnt be varified and denied my account. pfft gay. but i think if you do it over the phone its like 11% and over internet like 15%

here is something that might help u, scroll down till u see the numbers and stuff

the most right coloum is "from amount" to the left of it is "to amount" and the most left is the fees.

wow... so fucking expensive.

anyways, how does WU work? u have to make an account? i thought u just head over to the office/agent and then send the money

Sender needs to know the name and general location of the receiver.

Receiver needs to know the name of the sender and amount being sent, or the Money Transfer Control Number. They must also have some form of government picture ID.

This refers to sending in person at a WU terminal......not online sending/receiving.

yeah, it would be at a wu terminal

thanks for the info gregor D:

WU rips you, use PayPal

It`s important to know any additional "secret question - secret answer" is just bull. They hand out the money WITHOUT asking for it especially in the, let`s say, poorer countries. So you cannot pay in advance and rely on giving out secret answer later. This is something I had to learn. Basically it`s like throwing money out of a driving train and waiting the guy to return the hostage after. Use paypal!

WU fee's are 11-12$ from usa to Egypt
used it for variable transactions
100$/380$/200$ and all they took 11 or 12$ fee's
i think it depends on the country sending from and sending to

[MystiX]

It does depend on country and also the day you are sending I believe
