Does anybody use Xoom?

Question

Is it safe to use? I recommended it to my mom, but my mom is iffy about entering personal info over the internet involving credit cards.

Answer 1

I used it for several years and find it works as advertised with no problems.  It's pretty fast too.

An alternative that I use now is Citibank's Phillipine Money card.  You visit any branch and fill out papers indicating who in the Phils is to receive it.  They process it and courier a debit card to the person.  Once it's received, the recipient gives you the card number and you transfer money to the card number.  

You, the giver, has no access to the card nor any balances, and it's only good in the Phils.  Cost of transfer=$8

The overwhelming feature is that with Citibank the receiver doesn't have to wait in line to get the money.  They have instant access via ATM.

Answer 3

yah i've used it. a few times. it's okay, the first time you use it, it might take a while before you get your money. like 4-5 days maybe. so anticipate that. i wouldn't recommend remit2home.
