Compare Money Transfer Agencies In The United Kingdom

How to make sending money to the Philippines easier for Overseas Filipinos? When you can compare the services of international money transfer companies in one place. That's right. I found a website that does just that. It is based in the United Kingdom and started by the UK government to help its migrant workers on how to send money overseas from the UK. 

The website compares the money transfer services available in your host country. Fees, exchange rates, speed and method of transfer allow you to choose the right service.

Online money transfer services let you transfer money to the Philippines without leaving home. Internet money transfer sends money with ease and comfort.

You can always shop around to get the best deal for your money. But doing the shopping in one website tops it all. It saves you time and secures your money.

The money transfer companies listed on the site comply with government rules in the country they operate.
