 One can any time land in a painful situation, where one needs cash in urgency, in such a situation almost every one  reverts to his family and friends for help. There are several ways to transfer money from one place to another, but often many money transfer services charge hefty amounts for their services. Still there are many cheap ways to transfer cash instantly from one place to another. Email money transfer is one such cheap money transfer method that saves you from your untimely financial worries. There are several banks in America, who offer email money transfer services to their customers. The sender simply enters the amount of money to be sent, with a security question. Sender has to tell the security answer to the recipient through a separate mail or through a phone call. When the email is received by the recipient, he simply has to answer the security question, and has to approve money transfer in his bank account. This whole process, hardly takes 30 minutes, and as soon the security question is answered, money arrives in recipient’s account.
