With regard to the recipient, which is a trusted person, all I have is the person's name and address - no bank account details.
Thanks for any help! |
Hi - I used Western Union to pay for my Round Table from Brian Reed in the US - the local Aust Post branches all handle WU transactions. I did an electronic transfer that was no difference in costs than what my bank would've charged (the all-up costs, that is) and there is some sort of "security" process you can enact with these. (WU)
Can't remember, but AP and the WU form will explain: something about the transfer number and you emailing/phoning the receiver with this - they also need ID at the WU depot they collect the money from.
Cheers, Darryl.
