International Bank Transfers using Nationwide Credit Card

patwa_2

Hello.

I need to pay for an item and the seller accepts either Bank Transfer (SWIFT) or western Union.

I do not have the capital in cash at the moment, so was wondering what the best way to do this would be. I bought the item for a very good price, so any charges would be worth it. Had I been able to use Paypal, I would have used my Nationwide Visa Credit Card, but as this is not ossible, can I use the Credit Card to do an International Bank Transfer or pay via Western Union? Which would be the cheapest way to do this?

Thanks.

Cheers and take care.

Hussein.

Hi
you can use your credit card to send money via wetern union but your bank will charge you for this as they treat it as cash advance

can I do this online? I'm partially sighted so going to their office is not really practical. also, anyone know what Nationwide charge for cash advances?

thanks.

Hi
you can do it on line or by the phone, they accept visa and mastercard debit or credit card but i think the maximum amount you can send is £999 in one month. also if it is your first time to use thire on line money transfere you will have a massege at the end ask you to call them, they do this to confirm you first transection.
about nationwide chareg I am afraid I don't know but I am sure some body else may help with this

Hmm, looks suspicous.

Could you tell us a bit about what you are buying, what country to, and the seller rating?

A lot of fraudsters use only wu / bank transfer because it is very difficult (imposssible in the case of WU) to get money back.

I agree look suspicious. At a guess I'd say African continent somewhere. Please do be careful if you send money via Western Union as its virtually untraceable.

If something seems too good to be true, it usually is...
