Moneygram
Q: Is it safe for me to send money overseas through Moneygram?
A: Absolutely! We provide you with an 8-digit reference number that only you and the beneficiary are aware of. When retrieving the funds, the beneficiary is required to provide a photo identification (I.D) such as a Passport, Driver License or any government issued I.D. In addition, you may also add a test question and answer that you need to convey to the receiver upon retrieving the funds.
However, we strongly advise you NOT to send money to people you do not know.
Q: How long will it take for the beneficiary to receive the funds?
A: This service is an express service. Once the 8-digit reference number is given to the beneficiary, the funds can be collected immediately.
