Have you ever tried asking for money from your Parents who work abroad to pay for your Tuition Fees and school allowances? What if this happens?
You go to school, and you find out that your exams are scheduled three days from today. You check
your tuition balance; you have a big amount to pay for. You check your wallet; you are running low on cash. You quickly run to the ATM and rapidly pull out your Debit card. You punch in your pass code; press the button that calls up your accounts current balance – It says you have insufficient funds for withdrawal.
Your mind rushes in a state of Panic, as you start to call up friends, your grandparents in the province, your siblings, your boss in your sideline job, unfortunately, none of them could spare you enough money to pay off your tuition fee balance. You call your Dad; he answers the phone, and agrees to send it to your Bank account in the Philippines after an hour. You breathe a sigh of relief. After 2 hours of waiting for the bank transfer to arrive, you carefully filled up a withdrawal form and gleefully walk to the teller.
Unfortunately, after checking for your fund transfer to check-out, the teller notifies you that the transfer takes at least Five days to clear. With a frown, you leave the bank, out of ideas, and frustrated, you return to school, file a promissory note, and then head off to the library to read your lessons with a heavy heart.
Such are the predicaments that are faced by Filipino Students who are sons and daughters of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW). Due to some small transfer connection problems between local banks and offshore banks, remitting money could take as long as 45 banking days to work. When you are faced with this problem, now is a good time to try out MoneyGram International.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackMy sister send us money from Saudi but problem arises when we went to Mlhuier outlet(Negros Occidental) but the teller just told us that it was not yet working presently. How do we get the remittance?
Cebuana Lhuiller in Candaba, Pampanga. Everytime na kukunin ko ang remittance from Dubai, lage na lang ipinagpapabukas ng mga staff. Particularly yung lalaking teller dun. Hindi ba kaya nga nagpapadala dun kasi madaling mareceived ng kinauukulan. Katulad na lang nung bagyong undoy, nakapangalan sa tatay ko yung pera, dahil sa na stroke ang aking ama, kailangan ng pera. Nagdala ako ng authorization letter, i.d’s… tapos hindi tinanggap. Kailangan daw yung tatay kong naistroke ang kumuha. Sa madaling salita, dinala ko ang aking ama para makuha at makapirma sa papeles, tinawid namin ang taas ng baha. Pagdating namin doon, wala pa daw yung pera. Makatarungan ba naman yon? Nakakapag init ng ulo talaga. Express daw pero padadaanin mo pa ang isang araw. Haaay! Katulad na din nang kunin ko ang pera padala para pang tuition. Late na nga akong pumunta dahil late ko na natanggap ang text ng control number. Tapos pag dating ko doon, wala na daw pera. Naubos na daw at maraming kumuha ng remittance. Ipagpabukas na lang daw ng tanghali. Ang sa akin naman, kaya nga nagpapadala para madali ding matanggap lalo na sa mga emergencies. Peak season talaga ang June, marami kumukuha ng remittance, pero kasalanan ko ba kung kukunin ko ang perang nakalaan para sa akin. Kaya nga express e, mabilis. Hindi yun lagi akong ipinagpapabukas. At lage na lamang nagmamadaling umuwi ang mga staff. Sana ay bigyan pansin ito ng kinauukulang ng Cebuana Lhuiller dahil makakasira ito sa pangalan, kredibilidad at tiwala ng mga taong umaasa sa inyong serbisyo. Gumagalang at nagmamalasakit. Salamat po !
I received a money order from my aunt in the U.S. What will I do to get the money? I went to BDO and was told that I should go to a moneygram branch to receive it. What will I do and where will I go? Thanks
