I found a way to send money from the Philippines to Spain easy and fast from my computer.
It was a big hassle to have to bring cash to the closest Money sender and wait for long and get charged big fees. And after that my relative in Spain would have to travel to the Money sender and get the cash and deposit to my bank, etc. All costing time and money.
So I knew I had to find a way, that it could be possible in an easier way, and found it.
First create a PayPal account from the country you live in. Has to be created where you live and never access it from another part of the world. Why? Coz for security matters your account will get blocked if you access to it from a different country.
So if you travel a lot and want to use PayPal for your payments and to receive money, you need to do a PayPal account in each country you pretend to operate from.
And the second thing you need is a credit card or a debit card you can buy in the internet with. So you must know not all debit cards in the Philippines allow you to buy online. I got my thru Union Bank. It’s called the EON card.
So you apply for it online and you pick it up in a branch near you in just 5 days or less!
So now you can buy stuff online very easily.
So once you have your PayPal account in the country you live in, you link it to your bank account in the country you want to send money to. So I have a Philippine PayPal from which I can deposit to my Spanish real bank accounts.
So the process now is require a payment from PayPal to any email account you have. Then press the link to pay, and just pay with your card in the country you live in from your computer.
Now the money is in your PayPal account and you just transfer it to your real account in the country abroad. It will take 1 or 2 banking days to get there.
The commission of PayPal is smaller than official money transfer companies. And you need not to bother anyone abroad. Once in your account abroad you can just transfer it to them with the regular electronic banking transfers.
Well. I hope I just helped you save money, time, hassle and control everything from the comfort of your home.
Let me know how it worked for you.
May the Force be with You.
