Western Union Reputatoin
I was discussing Western Union with someone deeply involved in the money transfer market just recently over coffee. This is someone who works in the middle layer of the transfers between the larger corporates and the transfer houses helping to connect the two systems.
It was interesting to hear him say that Western Union have a reputation for Read the rest of this entry »
Money Transfer Methods
One of the more requested items on OMT is when people ask if we could list all of the money transfer methods that are available online at the moment.
Realistically the entire site here is about these different money transfer methods so there’s been a reluctance to write a specific piece of information about the methods that are on offer in one single place as it really should be giving a complete list of all of the information that we’ve had so far.
However, there have been enough requests, so here goes with the list of methods for transferring money that are currently Read the rest of this entry »

PayPal Merchant Service Buttons
I’ve been trying to hook up the PayPal Merchant Services with one of my blogs at the moment so that I can receive money for a specific service that I offer online.
The simplest version of the merchant services that they appear to have is the “PayPal Button” which allows you to enter a lot of different settings into a button that is hosted directly by PayPal and is loaded onto your site via a piece of script.
While the system appears quite simple at the start, there are a lot of Read the rest of this entry »
Frozen NETELLER Account
I’ve used NETELLER on and off over the years for online gaming transactions and have an account that I hadn’t used for some time. Recently I went back in, used the account for a small value transaction.
All was going well and I was appreciating the sophisticated systems that NETELLER has until they froze my account for no known reason!
Half of the money is still in the account and I cannot get to it. I’m very annoyed about this frozen NETELLER account.
When trying to login all it says is that “for my protection” the account has been frozen and…

Lucky Money Transfer
We always keep an eye out for new online money transfer sites we haven’t come across before and there’s a new one that I’ve just seen called “Lucky Money” which uses the tagline “the rapid money transmitter worldwide”. It has the Twitter and Facebook links so is involved in promoting itself in the social networks as a money transfer site and it also has a number of respectable client logos on the “trusted partners” section.

Money Transfer Reviews
Looking around for reviews of different money transfer sites tends to turn up a lot of the larger review websites that are available like reviewcentre.com and others.
When you search for MoneyGram Reviews on Google the best result is a money transfer review that only gives MoneyGram a 2.1 out of 5 rating. It shows 32% of users do not recommend the service.
The question is how many of these review sites online can we actually trust to give an accurate record of money transfer reviews and a real indication of how good the service is?
