Receiving money from the US

[Jun aka Pekto]

Any ideas how much they charge for $500-700? For the identification, is passport good enough?

Incredible, how was the process in BPI?

Standard Operating Procedure is a primary form of ID plus a non-primary one which shows your name and your current address which should match what your friend noted down.

As for rates:

Try this..... 3-day waiting period calculator:

$500-$700 = $12

I'd guess the rates if you want your money quicker would be higher. I remember rates in the $45 range.

we transfer money from the US to our BDO account.. it only takes 1 day now.. sometimes even less..

Thanks Jun! The $12-45 is not bad

So a local BDO account is good enough? My friend is in San Francisco. Pano kaya?

Really? My wife had a fit when the rate for the money she sent me was $45. That was years ago.

Okay lang cos I'm the one getting the money all I did was click click drag then instant cash, so a less than a hundred deduction wouldn't be so bad

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.
