gringal Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I would like to send a Money Order in dollars (under $100) to a relative in the States. I have U.S. dollars in hand to cover it. Is there a bank here that does this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or get the wire transfer information from your relative's bank in the States. Take that information to your Ajijic bank for wire transfer. Thanks, but the cost for wire transfers is not inexpensive, and this is a smallish birthday gift. I'll go with the Post Office suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisbee Gal Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 If you have a US bank, almost all checking accounts have free Bill Pay. You can use it for individuals as well as for businesses. I use this all the time, NO fees and the bank even pays for the postage! It is very easy to set up. If you use PayPal, I believe the person you send the $$ to will have PayPal's "commission" deducted from what you send them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shrall Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Paypal’s send to friend process with funds originating from a checking account is free and quick. Bank bill payer works well but normally takes about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
