There are some countries in the region in which you can only RECEIVE money via Western Union, but not SEND from. This thread could be a list of which is which. This is what I know:
Thailand: Can send and receive.
India: Can only receive. But not send.
Cambodia: Have received but unsure about sending (???)
Vietnam: Can only receive. But not send.
Laos: ________??
Myanmar: _______________??
Indonesia: ______________??
Philippinnes: ____________??

You can send from Cambodia to other countries; I used a BIDC branch once, no queue!
If you have a debit/credit card, bank account, etc you can also use WU online to send money, I'm guessing from any country that you're in.

Yes, I have sent cash to the Philippines from a WU branch on Sihanouk Blvd, just a few doors down from Lucky. They even gave me a free t.shirt, way too small for me but OK for the ex.
Philippines is OK for WU domestic and incoming international transfers, not so certain about outgoing payments though.

How to we do naming conventions for WU online? Are the names switched in fields or is the father/family name in the last name field for WU?

The name probably just has to match what's on the receiver's national ID card / passport etc. Check it out yourself, the fields will most likely have explanatory guiders.bbarnett wrote:How to we do naming conventions for WU online?

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
I was going to post about WU and how much Cambodian banks are despised.

No guiders, WU chat was no help, BUT I sent it anyway, put the family name in the last name field and first name in first name field. They let her get the money, but apparently it was a bit of a process. She told me next time put family name in first name spot, given name in last name.Lucky Lucan wrote:The name probably just has to match what's on the receiver's national ID card / passport etc. Check it out yourself, the fields will most likely have explanatory guiders.bbarnett wrote:How to we do naming conventions for WU online?

At least they gave it to her, but obviously don't want to piss off my landlord at this stage

The regulations in countries that don't let you send money out usually affect Moneygram as well.Fred Edwards wrote:MoneyGram is cheaper and quicker!
