The many uses of Money Transfer

I can honestly say I use NETELLER Money Transfer at least once a week, if not more. From payments to getaways to gifts, it’s hard to beat!

No more rubber cheques

When I invested in real estate with some friends, for example, I asked them to send me their share of the mortgage via NETELLER Money Transfer. We all know cheques can sometimes bounce. With NETELLER Money Transfer, I know the money is going straight into my NETELLER account.

Get paid in full

I also use it to settle tabs with my friends. For instance, I recently went on a spontaneous girl’s trip to the Okanogan. My one friend Samantha booked and paid for the accommodations, gas, food and wobbly pops. Once our hangovers subdued, we tallied up the total, split it evenly between the 4 of us, and sent NETELLER Money Transfers to Samantha. It worked out great! Who carries cash with them anymore? Not I.

Goodbye to gift wrap

Did I mention I have the best mom? She loves to spoil me. But I’m hard to shop for, so she sends me NETELLER Money Transfers so I can get my own gift. Which reminds me, it’s her birthday coming up, and I’ve got to think of something great for her! 

Pay your dues

My outdoor soccer season is starting up again in a couple weeks so my team fees are due soon. I’ll be sending my coach a NETELLER Money Transfer for that too. This year we are pitching in extra to get team apparel. We are going to look sharp, play stronger, and hopefully move up to a higher division this year!

As you can see, my money is online and I would be lost without NETELLER Money Transfer. What do you use it for?

Transferencias de dinero NETELLER en Sur América

English version follows
NETELLER tiene miembros alrededor del mundo, incluyendo una gran cantidad en Sur América. Hola Amigos! Sabemos que muchos están ahí disfrutando de los servicios de eWallet (cuenta). Por eso el día de hoy queremos explicarles a nuestros amigos Sur Americanos como pueden sacar el mejor provecho de nuestro servicio de Transferencia de dinero.

Digamos que usted desea usar el internet para enviar dinero a alguien, puede ser un amigo en su ciudad o alguien más en otro país, o tal vez conoce a un familiar que trabaja fuera del país, y desea enviar dinero a su casa. En la actualidad usted ya utiliza la red para enviar imágenes, compartir correos electrónicos y archivos con familiares y amigos, no cree que las transferencias de dinero deberían ser así de fáciles?

La mejor opción: quien envía y quien recibe tienen una cuenta NETELLER Extended

Las Transferencias de dinero son tan fáciles como enviar un correo electrónico, pero lo ideal es que ambos: quien envía y quien recibe, tengan una cuenta NETELLER Extended (Actualizada). Si quien envía el dinero es miembro de NETELLER Extended, pero quien lo recibe, no es ni miembro de NETELLER, aun se puede iniciar la transferencia, pero la transacción está limitada en la cantidad que se puede recibir. Para retirar el dinero, quien recibe, lo más probable es que quiera hacerlo por medio de nuestras tarjetas Net +, las cuales están disponibles con las cuentas Extended. Así que honestamente hablando, el mejor de los casos para ambas partes es tener una cuenta Extended. Vea nuestros artículos sobre cómo obtener una cuenta NETELLER, y sobre NETELLER Extended account (actualización) en el blog para obtener más información sobre esto. El proceso de actualización tarda un poco de tiempo, pero por los beneficios que le trae, vale la pena.

Opciones para Sur Americanos que viven en el extranjero

Digamos que usted o uno de sus amigos o familiares viven en Europa, y desea enviarle dinero a alguien en Sur América. Primero que todo necesita ingresar el dinero en la cuenta NETELLER. La mayoría de países occidentales tienen varias opciones de depósito para los clientes NETELLER como por ejemplo: transferencias bancarias internacionales o locales, tarjetas de crédito y más. Tenga en cuenta que estas opciones varían según el país y tienen diferentes comisiones y duración. Entérese de lo que está disponible para usted en su país, y elija la opción que mejor se acomode a sus necesidades. Depositar dinero a su cuenta NETELLER será muy sencillo y con la facilidad de las tarjetas Net+, la persona que está del otro lado no va a tener inconvenientes retirando el dinero. Las Transferencia de dinero NETELLER, son instantáneas, seguras y a muy buen precio, quien envía el dinero solo debe pagar un 1% de la transacción, hasta un máximo de 10 USD.

Opciones para Sur Americanos en su país de origen

Es usted un cliente de NETELLER que vive en Argentina, Perú, Chile, Panamá o en algún otro país de la región? En este momento sus opciones de depósito son un poco limitadas. Nosotros entendemos que algunas veces nuestros clientes en Sur América deben enfrentar muchos desafíos para depositar, y agradecemos la paciencia que han tenido y el continuo interés en NETELLER. Para evitar esto, le sugerimos que deposite por medio de transferencia bancaria internacional, NETELLER no le cobra nada por este tipo de depósito, y una vez enviado tarda de 2 a 3 días laborales. De todas maneras hay algunas cosas que debe tener en cuenta. Para realizar este depósito, debe tener un banco local en su país que envié dinero fuera del país, ellos probablemente le cobren por este servicio, y algunos requieren información adicional que debe tener para completar la transacción.

Pero tenga cuidado…

Otro problema que puede encontrar es los “Bancos intermediaros”. El dinero depositado por transferencia bancaria internacional va a llegar eventualmente a nuestro banco filial Barclays, el cual está localizado en el Reino Unido, pero si su banco en Sur América no tienen relación directa con bancos Europeos (y muchos no la tienen) van a ofrecer otra ruta diferente que es por medio de un banco intermediario en Estados Unidos, y en ese caso la transferencia no va a ser exitosa, porque NETELLER no puede aceptar transferencias desde Estados Unidos. Cuál es la solución? Para aumentar las posibilidades de que su depósito sea exitoso, averigüe en todos los bancos cercanos cuales tienen relación directa con bancos en el Reino Unido y Europa.

Retirando el dinero de su cuenta NETELLER

Una vez haya terminado exitosamente su Transferencia de dinero, es muy fácil utilizar el dinero. Con nuestra tarjeta Net+ Prepaid MasterCard® con seguridad de Chip y de PIN, usted puede retiar su dinero fácilmente en cajeros automáticos en todas partes. También puede utilizar la tarjeta Net + Virtual Prepaid MasterCard para comprar de manera conveniente y segura en internet.

Es usted un cliente Sur Americano que ya ha utilizado Transferencia de Dinero? Deje un comentario aquí y comparta sus experiencias.

NETELLER Money Transfer in South America

NETELLER members live all around the world, including many in South America. Hola amigos! We know there are a lot of you down there who enjoy using your eWallets and the services within. Today I’ll explain how our South American friends can get the most out of our Money Transfer service.

Let’s say you want to use the internet to send money to someone. It could be a friend in your city, or someone in another country. Or perhaps you or a relative work overseas and want to send money home. You already use the web to share emails, images and files with your friends and family. Shouldn’t a money transfer service be just as simple?

Best situation: sender and recipient both have NETELLER Extended accounts

Money Transfer with NETELLER can be as easy as email, but ideally the sender and recipient should both have Extended eWallets. If the sender has an Extended eWallet and the recipient is not even a NETELLER member, you can still begin a money transfer. However, there are limits to the amount of money the recipient can accept. To take the money out, the recipient will likely want to use one of our Net+ cards, which come with our Extended accounts. So honestly speaking, the best case is for both parties to have an Extended eWallet. Check our blog articles on getting a NETELLER account and upgrading to Extended to learn more. The process takes a bit of time, but the benefits will certainly be worth it.

Options for South Americans living abroad

Let’s say you or your relative/friend live in Europe, and you want to send money to someone in South America. First you’ll need to move funds into the NETELLER eWallet. In several western countries NETELLER has many deposit options for members who want to fund their accounts: instant bank deposits, local bank deposits, credit cards and more. These options vary by country and have different rates and clearing times. Check out what’s available and choose the best one for your needs. Getting funds into your account will be easy, and with Net+ the person on the other end will have no trouble taking the money out. NETELLER Money Transfer is instant, secure, private and affordable. The sender pays a 1% transfer fee up to a maximum of 10 USD.

Options for South Americans at home

Are you a NETELLER member who lives in Argentina, Peru, Chile, Panama or another nearby country? Currently, your deposit options are limited. We understand the depositing challenges our South American members are facing, and we appreciate your patience and continued interest in NETELLER. We suggest you deposit money via our International Bank Deposit option. NETELLER does not charge for this service, and once started it usually takes 2-3 business days. However, there are some things you should be aware of. You will have to find a local bank that can send money out of your country. They charge for this service and sometimes will ask many questions or require lots of paperwork to complete the transaction.

But watch out for…

Another potential problem is the “intermediary bank” issue. Funds deposited via our International Bank Deposit option will eventually arrive at our partner bank, Barclays, which is located in the United Kingdom. However, if your South American bank does not have a direct transfer relationship with a UK or European bank (and many do not), they will often route the transfer via an intermediary bank in the United States. At this point the transfer will fail, because NETELLER cannot accept transfers from US banks. What is the solution? To increase the chance of making a successful deposit check around and see if you can find a bank in your area that has a direct transfer relationship with a UK or European bank.

Getting money out of the NETELLER eWallet

Once you’ve completed a successful Money Transfer, it’s easy to get your hands on the money. With our Net+ Chip & PIN prepaid MasterCard® you can withdraw cash easily at automatic teller machines nearly everywhere. You can also use our Net+ virtual prepaid MasterCard for secure and convenient online shopping.

Are you a South American member who has used NETELLER Money Transfer? Leave a comment here and share your experiences.

Yet another proud NETELLER hero

I was flattered to be asked to become a NETELLER brand hero. I signed up right away.

I’ve never been accused of being a high-maintenance girl, so getting my makeup and hair done for the photoshoot was a new experience. Plus, I’m far from a natural in front of the camera. It was cool to see Jackson – who 99% of the time designs our website and other fun concepts – flex his photography muscles. It was a ton of fun!

send_money

I was immediately recognized around the office. A lot of people approached me to either say hello or to get to know me a bit better. Many of them saw me on our Send Money website and various emails. It’s cool to realize that my face is being seen by thousands of people around the world, but I’m sorry I won’t be signing autographs anytime soon. Ha ha.

You may have already seen many of our other NETELLER brand heroes in Chris, Alan, Hiro, Jen and Pam, so I can’t wait to see more of my colleagues on our website. It’s pretty cool to see yourself in that light.

What’s your inner hero?

NETELLER explains remittance

One aspect of Money Transfer that has many members scratching their heads is the process of remittance.

Remittance is the term that describes an international transfer initiated by migrant workers who are sending money home to their families. When home is a developing country, these funds can greatly impact the local economy.

How big an impact can it make? The World Bank tracks the worldwide movement of remittance money and in 2008 reported that $397 billion in remittance was paid. That’s a pretty astounding figure.

NETELLER supports top remittance countries

The World Bank has identified countries including the UK, India, Poland and China as the top countries receiving remittance payments. Many NETELLER members are already using Money Transfer to quickly and easily send money between these countries using their local currencies.

Pricey transfers

Some international money transfer services eat up a big chunk of the funds being sent home. Transfers from Germany to China are reportedly among the most expensive in the world. But members who use NETELLER’s Money Transfer service to send money between these countries are able to remit their funds without losing out on a lot of their hard-earned money.

Part of the reason why NETELLER is able to save its members money is that we support many different currencies. I mentioned transferring money from Germany to China earlier, so if you want to perform that type of transfer, we currently use the Euro, Chinese Yuan (Renminbi) as well as the Taiwanese Dollar, and we provide automatic currency conversion between these currencies.

Check out the handy online pricing comparison of services for the top country corridors provided by the World Bank. This is a great tool for consumers to compare the market price of remittance services worldwide.

NETELLER Money Transfer: an easier gift to send

The holiday routine has hit again. Year after year I rush to the store, buy what I hope is the perfect gift, quickly wrap it and then make the dreaded trip to the post office. I stand in the never-ending line, mentally calculating the shipping cost and invariably pay the premium price to avoid fretting over whether the package will reach its final destination on time.

There is an easier way

I’ve thought about sending gift cards to eliminate the hassle, but soon realized that is just as risky as sending cash in the mail. Yikes!

Thankfully, I came up with a foolproof plan for my gift-giving this year. I’m going to send my friends and family online cash presents, thanks to the NETELLER Money Transfer service.

Not only is it easy and secure, but I also avoid worrying about whether it will get lost in the mail, the high shipping costs and the horrendous line at the post office. As the sender I only pay a 1% transfer fee (minimum fee is 1 USD and maximum fee is 10 USD).  What could be simpler?

If you’re looking for a reliable and quick way to give gifts, check out the NETELLER Money Transfer service.

Have you used the Money Transfer service yet? If so, tell us about it.

Save money sending money with NETELLER

Today’s post was written by Gary. Before moving into his current role as Business Development Manager, Gary helped to develop NETELLER’s online Money Transfer service as the Marketing Manager for that program.

So a couple of months ago, I wrote a few blog entries about how I’ve already used NETELLER’s online money transfer service to save myself time and money. I talked about using Money Transfer to save myself headaches while sending funds to friends and family overseas.

The problem is, while the convenience of the service is obvious to everyone who reads the blog, it’s less clear how Money Transfer saves you money, unless you know the ins and outs as well as I do.

Stop paying someone else’s rent

I’ll start by talking about the most visible form of Money Transfer – the kiosk. You’ve probably seen Western Union kiosks around the world if you’ve done any traveling. These stand alone locations charge a lot for transfers because both the sending and receiving kiosk agents need to get a cut of the money transfer transaction.

Their customers usually pay higher fees to cover the rent for their kiosk location, as well as wages for staffing the kiosk. The kicker is that this type of money transfer service is less convenient and no safer than many online money transfers.

Stop paying fees you didn’t know you had to pay

The next most visible form of money transfer is bank transfers. The problem with this one is that when sending money between 2 banks, a sender (and the sender’s bank) has no control over additional hidden fees that the receiving bank might charge the receiver before releasing the funds.

In effect, the amount received will always be less than what the sender expected it to be. With hidden fees, you never know how much of what you send will actually arrive. And that’s a pretty important thing to know.

A better way to send money

In this day and age, the safest, most cost-effective way to send money is to use a service that controls the transfer network from the sender, through to the receiver. NETELLER Money Transfer does just this in over 180 countries with 20 global currencies!

Affordable, transparent fees with NETELLER

Because NETELLER manages the entire transaction from the sender through to the receiver, we only charge you once. The transfer fee is paid by the sender at the outset at a fixed rate of 1 per cent of the transaction up to a maximum of 10 USD (or equivalent).

Keep in mind, the money transfer may also be subject to a currency conversion fee if the sender and receiver use different currencies. NETELLER charges the average daily market exchange rate plus 2.5 per cent for all foreign currency exchange.

Save time, money and headaches with Money Transfer

If you send money to friends and family as often as I do, you don’t need me to tell you that every cent you send in fees could be put to better use. That’s why it’s so important to shop around. Save yourself some effort and take a look at NETELLER Money Transfer today. You’ll like what you see.
