What is the cheapest way I can transfer money from Hongkong to the US?

Whats the fastest way to send money or transfer money?

  • I need to send a money from a friend this thursday coz he's be needing it. today is tuesday is there a way that i can mail a check thats gonna arrive that time or is there a way that i can tranfer the money through my account to his account the fastest way? does the bank do that? or do i need to go to western union or something? thanks....

  • Answer:

    Yes, Western Union is quick but the prices are rather high depending on the amount you want to send (if memory serves me, the cost is around 8.5%). A bank (and perhaps a Credit Union) can transfer money from A to B for a smaller fee. If you send a check or money order, FedEx can ship it, guaranteed delivery, for nearly US$30. US Postal Service Express Mail will cost US$17.50. Both FedEx and USPS Express Mail will deliver your package within two business days. Good Luck!

Western Union is the fastest and I believe you can do it online, but he has to go to a Western Union outlet to collect the money. You could also send a check or money order by postal Priority mail which will cost about as much as sending it western union. Depending on where he is the check should be there by Thursday. Or you can send it Express Mail, which costs about $15.00 and it will be there tomorrow.

If you know what bank they use, and they have a branch near you, you could deposit it in their account. If you both have pay-pal, you could transfer to each other on there. Banks can wire the money just as western union for a flat fee totaling between $25-35. Good luck!
