i was at CIMB bank cheras and a philipino scolding the counter girl both arguing over some exchange rate issues. and yes, the philipino insisted "i want Western Union" - looks like someone got ripped off.

maybe its cheap for the same day transfer thingy.. i've never used Western Union. Maybank's TT is just the same.. so what it arrives later, as long as it arrives, better than not.

Western Union is the worlds most expensive way of sending money regardless which currency rate used. They always apply a spread on the exchange rate. This way they earn almost as much from the exchange rate as they do from the high fees. Western Union is stealing hard earned money from migrants worldwide!
