MoneyGram/Western Union and tor

[Zander]

It doesn't matter Lunar, as far as WU having your bank info. They're as secure as other institutions such as credit card providers in which you pay them online using direct withdrawals from your bank.

I found it to be a huge benefit when I can place an order and pay from my computer as opposed to going to an ATM, then a Western Union agent and filling out those long forms. Once you have an account set up you can pay with just a few clicks on your computer. The fee is the same, and as said, it's a whole lot more convenient.

I know too that with WU you can use a credit card to pay rather than a direct bank withdrawal if you choose. That's nice and the fee is the same. The only thing is that the credit card provider will hit you with a cash advance fee, as you aren't making a charge, but they are sending cash to WU at the time of the transaction. Having said that, it's no biggie. The case advance fee is like 10 bucks or less for a couple hundred dollars.

WU doesn't care if you send money to the same person. They actually make it more convenient for you. You can make a list of recipients, so if it's someone you send money to often, you can just click on the name from that list.
