jigelow Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm trying to send money to MQ, but never done WU before. I have name and an ID number that's been provided. However, WU only has an option of name only for pickup at office or name and bank info for direct to account. Admittedly the language barrier has been a bit difficult. Anyone send money before that can let me know how I'm supposed to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I've done Western Union quite a few times, but perhaps you should ask MQ if they want to collect or pay into their bank account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigelow Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I did. Response back was name and this mysterious ID number that isn't asked for by WU. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1974 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Best to go to a WU office and pay in cash.. you only need a first and last name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it matter where I provide money from? So when you've sent money to a TD, you've had them go to an office to gather funds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It transfers immediately, there Is a fee for it, but whatever.I use WU exclusively with TDs, never had an issues, 50+ transactions.Worst case scenario, WU calls YOU just to confirm that you are indeed authorizing the transaction. But they'll only call once for new accounts(if they call at all) and that's it. All TD needs is the MTCN number and their ID to pick up the money.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to default to local currency, so I'll see if I can change back when I send funds. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Personally I prefer online WU but I believe the online site can vary from country to country. When customers pay me by WU they need to supply my name, country and state I live in, other than that they only need to highlight that the cash will be collected in person.

panerai153 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 One problem I had several years ago when I first used WU, was they had a cash limit. Could only send 500.00 USD per month. I believe this was to slow down some of the problems WU was having with both online gambling and money laundering. I was sending money to my wife in Europe when she went home for summer vacation. After a couple of months as I recall, they increased the limit to something like 5k.As others have said, make sure you have the name and country right, they won't release money to someone with a different name than what is on the WU money transfer. They also need the MTCN to claim the cash. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigelow Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Still waiting to be collected. Lonely. Sent MQ my cell phone number. No response. Sent a follow up. No response. Am I able to claw back the transfer minus the fee or does it just sit in limbo? How long do I wait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 who is MQ? If he is a forum dealer then get that forums admin team to ask him what is going on. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
