[@tushshubro]

Is online Western Union not available from the Philippines? Is it only agent here?

[@franceskpepushaj5715]

How you can change the currency that you are sending? For example in the video you can sent only British pounds , how do you change it to euros ?

[@Monitodotcom]

That will default to your country of origin, for me being from the UK I have GBP. Where are you based? ^J

[@ppg19782]

What if your driving license shows the old addresses where I used to live and you are putting your personal information where you live now... There it will be a problem since your driving license shows a different address? Appreciate your input 👌 Much blessings Ty

[@Monitodotcom]

Yeah that's likely to effect ID verification because they'll want to match your personal info with your drivers license. If you update your drivers license address you'd likely get a new one in a couple of weeks. Issue is, can you wait that long? If not do you have any other form of ID? ^Jonny

[@AminasLife88]

Hi How we can convince pay to western union?

[@skrskr9000]

Do you know if they are matching the id you submit to the id number in your bank account ? Or are they just keeping the id for their records ?

[@Monitodotcom]

That's a good question, I believe it just needs to match with the details you have on your Western Union account, so your name address etc. Bank ID should be fine. ^Jonny

[@donjose6039]

Hi. Thank you for this. Can I ask what if the money is in Philippine Peso bank account? In western union they only have USD rate. I would like to send it in CAD but the option is only in USD.

[@Monitodotcom]

That doesn't seem right. Can you confirm, are you sending the money from the Philippines to Canada? And so you're looking to send PHP to CAD? ^Jonny

[@mortensholm9016]

Thanks for a very useful video. Is this a good option if you go on vacation in eg. Oman or some other country, where you dont know the bank system? I think that you can transfer to yourself. Is the rate better than changing cash og drawing cash form ATM machines at the destination? Can you call back a transfer, if you wish to cancel?

[@user-bv1ze5de6u]

You have to cancel the transaction it won’t let you pick up the money. It’s a scam so that they can refund your money except for the transfer fees. You will lose whatever you pay in transfer fees every time!! Just read about my experience in the comments 😢

[@Monitodotcom]

You're welcome! Glad you found it useful. You could transfer to yourself and collect the cash, and it could be cheaper than withdrawing from an ATM but that'll depend on the card and provider you use to withdraw the money. Which country are you from? ^Jonny

[@melnerlorezoavancena2734]

Hello, if you transfer money to yourself in Argentina using western union and pick up at the store. Is it possible to withdraw USD currency not in peso or you can only withdraw in peso?

[@Monitodotcom]

No, WU will only allow you to send ARS so you'll have to collect it in pesos. You might be able to exchange it for USD at the Western Union agent location when you collect, although I wouldn't trust the FX rate to be very good. Where are you based? I might be able to suggest another way. ^Jonny

Is it possible to send money from USA/UK to a Sri Lankan bank account via western union? Please let me know, many thanks!

[@Monitodotcom]

I checked our comparison engine (www.monito.com) and Western Union isn't on the list for US to Sri Lanka, but it is for the UK. This search was just for1000 USD www.monito.com/en/compare/transfer/gb/lk/gbp/lkr/1000 - and also they look like one of the best providers for that amount of money. But this may be different depending on how much you want to send. Jonny

1-3 days is a safe approximation, but I've had it take just a few minutes before. ^Jonny

Can you send money internationally in the same currency that the receiver wants. E.g. Send with USD and the receiver gets USD too?

With Western Union you can send USD to some countries but this will depend. Where are you sending from and to? ^Jonny

[@joachimpetersen2301]

Unfortunately for Pakistan you would need to send the money from USD to PKR. Unless they have a USD bank account? Are you trying to send the money for cash pick-up? Or bank transfer? ^J

[@pejnovicodeca4254]

I have one question and I would be grateful if someone could answer me. When I receive the money via western union , the sender asked me to send him a scanned copy of my passport. Is this necessary for him to send me the money,as I am afraid of being scammed? Thanks in advance

[@Monitodotcom]

No that shouldn't be necessary. I recommend contacting Western Union about this. ^Jonny

[@pejnovicodeca4254]

​ @Monitodotcom Thank you for your response. I looked everywhere and nowhere does it say that the person who sending the money needs recipient passport, especially not a scanned copy in color. It is only necessary that the data from my ID match the information and address he provided when sending.

I downloaded the application to send money to Mexico, but why do they pay me the cheapest dollar here? The dollar is today at 17.14 and in the app they are going to pay me at 16.84, why is that happening?

[@Monitodotcom]

Hey Annie, replied to your other comment so just copying this one over. Thank you. Hey Annie, I imagine they've added an FX mark-up to the exchange rate, I definitely recommend checking www.monito.com and just putting in your transfer details. We'll be able to recommend the best provider, including the best exchange rate for your transfer. It's also free to use :) Thank you. ^Jonny

What do the receiver needs in Mexico to get the money? I sent it but they're saying they need a number and then the exact amount, how did it work for you?

Why is there no place to enter the recievers passport identification number? Sending to Egypt and they must have the passport number to pick up the money

[@Monitodotcom]

Hey! Difficult to know why, I've personally never sent money to Egypt, are you sending it from the UK? ^Jonny

[@user-bv1ze5de6u]

I’m sending it from USA. I’ve sent the transfer 2 different times entering every detail possible! They wouldn’t let my recipient pick up the money either time. He showed them his passport and everything matched but they asked him to see my identity so I sent him a photo of my drivers license and they still wouldn’t let him pick up the money. So in result I had to cancel both transactions and they sent a refund to my account but only for the amount that I sent. So I lost the transfer fees. It cost me $6 two different times to actually accomplish nothing. The second time I was actually at an agency and the agent helped me do everything from my phone through the app and told me everything was correct and he could pick up the money without any problems. So I recommend no one use this app ever! Unless you want to get charged transfer fees for them doing absolutely nothing!!

[@Monitodotcom]

To confirm, the Western Union agent asked to see your ID? Do you know the address of this agent as that's not necessary. According to Western Union's own website (wucare.westernunion.com/s/article/What-do-I-need-to-pick-up-my-money-transfer?language=en_US) they only need to provide your full name and possibly your country and state. What reason did they give for refusing to let him pick the money up? ^Jonny
