Guest buru_tus Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 sa Middle East our local banks made arrangements with Middle Eastern Bank to act as correspondent banks they charge bank transfer fee usually in the range of $3 to $6 for bank to bank, door to door, bank to pick up transfer time varies from 6hrs to 2days!!! dun sa bank na pinapadalhan ko, I usually make the transfer at 7PM, local time (12midnight pinas time) by the time na magbukas ang branch ko at 9AM, naka credit na yung money. BPI pala bank ko, they have toll free numbers practically all over the world, so you can do phone banking anytime anywhere, aside from their online site pa Quote Link to comment

Pro lumalaban ng sabayan ang mga FX and cargo services by accepting local checks hindi pa cleared ina accomodate na depending on how well they know their clients. In effect, nagpapaluwal sila ng pera and comparably competitive din ang exchange rate and service fees vs. the local banks. Quote Link to comment

Mandrake Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 we just help them to launder illegal money mas ok pa din banksor western union dude <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True. I always encourage the use of the banking system. It's ironical however that many of these fx cos. also have banking tie-ups with Phil. banks which buy and deal their forex by the bulk or wholesale.

doc.hopewell Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 May OT question ako. How do you send medicines to the US? Pwede bang gumamit ng Fedex or DHL? Quote Link to comment
Wyld Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 May OT question ako. How do you send medicines to the US? Pwede bang gumamit ng Fedex or DHL?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pwede. You need to fill out a customs declaration form (available in DHL). Sometimes, it is required that you show a valid prescription for the meds. Price is pretty steep thouugh - around 2K pesos. My family just sent me some meds from Pinas a few weeks ago and thats how much they paid. Quote Link to comment

Not unless "on sale" ang services nila - they have the sales around Christmas. Actually mura ang ten bucks. Where im at its 15. Quote Link to comment
willow_boy Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 One time, my parents were here in the US on vacation. I signed a bunch of blank checks and sent it home with them so that whenever there is a need/financial obligation, they can just write the amount on a check and deposit it directly to their bank in the Philippines. With such, I avoid any wire transfer fees, etc. Quote Link to comment
