Why would you. Don't do it
So I have been chatting with few philipino onkine and very friendly, sometime real fun. Some of them asking some money, very small amounts. Anyone has similar experience and sent money? I am not sure how to do that and is it legal.
Why would you. Don't do it
It's really small amounts, like $10 or $20. And what I get in return is way better.
Get before you give
Why would sending money to some friends overseas be illegal??
If I wanted to send someone abroad small amounts of money, without incurring dysproportionate fees, using money transfer services etc., I'd use crypto.
Open an account on a crypto exchange like for example Coinspot, transfer some AUD into that account, buy whatever crypto you want, then transfer it out to a hardware wallet on your computer, tablet or phone, like for example Exodus.
From there you can send it to anyone you like, without any interference or questions.
Obviously your overseas friends need to have a crypto wallet, too.
Crypto seems to be low in fees, but the on ramp and off ramp fees do add up.
Every option gets munched by fees. Old fashioned Western Union isn't all that bad. Revolut is another option, but in some countries it's not all that reliable.
they can be good value and sending $20 is work a shot if you get something. don't expect anything after the first session even it they mean it's for the month.
I use Wise app, reasonably exchange rate. I then send it to her (them) as "Gcash" which goes into there gcash account as a deposit from some Filipino bank account I don't recognise. They can't track back and my name is not appearing on their account even if they are interested.
I steer clear of paypal requests. Gcash is widely accepted.
Don't send more than Au20. At you can probably get it for $10.
I've never had any runners and I usually always get something for my money. I'm currently send P1000/week to a sweet 19yo that I have known for a while. For that she sends me a few live videos plus put whatsapp on while she has a shower. if that's your thing.
Send me a DM if you need more info.
I use remitly.com, reasonable exchange rate and straight forward
I have sent you a DM. Maybe we can share a few pinay hotties.
got a friend who works in the Federal Police who told me that they store all the details of people who sent money overseas ( or receive ) in a database re terrorism. now if you got nothing important or no big business, why would you want to risk that ?
everyone knows every transaction is in a database here in Australia. heck even that we open these webpages on this website are stored for two years against me.
this thread is about the most effective way to send small amount of funds between consenting adults.
if you were to go to Commbank and try to send $10 to a bank account in Phils, it will cost $40 and take a week to clear into a girls account.
We have suggested modern banks that move small amounts of payments between countries.
Will be easier to post a prepaid debit card
you can try using Skrill, previously known as Moneybookers
