Receiving money from the US

[Lucius]

Guys, aside from Paypal ano pa ibang way? Expecting money next week, Paypal is not an option since madami pang gagawin -- create Paypal account, Unionbank EON account (to verify) and/or another bank account.

Kahit malaki ang bawas ayos lang

Remittance

Would love to hear details

LOL wala ako alam sa mga ganyan eh, don't even have a bank account. Di ko naman pwede ipadaan sa mommy ko baka di ko na makuha

oh I see...
you just have to go to your preferred bank and open up an account (savings/checking) then just simply inform the CSR that you are opening an account for Remittance purposes...
anyway Remittance services takes day(s) before you are able to get the money... if the money was sent out in US on Monday, you will be able to get it after 3 days... so that's like Thursday... you also have to count no. of days by Business days - M to F excluding weekends and Holidays...

I see. But I really don't like the idea of putting my money elsewhere even with a bank. Anyway, is it possible to get the money through a normal BDO account? If not, will there be a way? Thinking if I will just have it transferred through my friend.

uhm its really up to you... the bank is the safest way where we can deposit/keep our money... it is safe and reliable... unless the money youre getting is money laundered, then that is a different story...

- what do you mean by this? i think it is like what ive said like opening an account, then get the money from the bank through ATM or OTC

Thinking if I will just have it transferred through my friend.
- i dunno if you really entrusting youre friend with this. where talking about monetary means in here... If you are getting the money from a friend, and youre friend is the account holder, you are now considered a third party and the bank has nothing to do with you if problem arises...

If your receiving not more than $1000 western union is another option within 3 hours you will be expecting your money in any western union outlet all you need is at least 2 valid id's and you have the option to received it in dollar or in peso just tell the sender to send it in dollar.
