Sending Money Online

Hi,

I want to send someone some money as a matter of urgency, however they do not bank online or telephone bank.

I have tried Money Gram, Voicecash and Western Union, however have had so many problems.

Does anyone know any other ways I can send money from my debit card to them?

Kind Regards

    They don't need to bank online - as long as you do, just pay it to their account.

    My branch has just closed and I dont bank online either.

    Is there anything I can do?

    They are being screwed over by Natwest.

    Draw out cash and get them to pay it in over the counter in the morning?

    I think NatWest are open Saturdays, but I don't know how long it would take to credit to the account.

    Thank you for this, but they need it now as they have already been waiting days for Natwest to get their act together and they need to pay their Landlord tonight.

    Can they write a cheque and you get the money into their account before it is cashed?

    They only have a basic bank account so no cheque facility....

    Arrange to speak directly to the landlord (by telephone, when he visits) and make an arrangement to pay him. If he is willing to provide his bank account number and sort code then you can just pay in cash at any branch of that bank. Otherwise, Paypal would be quick and easy, but would involve some costs for the landlord. Or you could just write a cheque and post it to him.
  • Paypal takes days i believe.

    You have been a number of decent alternatives here.
    If none are any good then there is nothing you can do until the bank opens on Monday morning.

    Maybe it would be a very good idea if both of you register for internet banking.

    You can always use telephone banking ... most banks have 24 hour telephone numbers, and the money will be transferred instantly.
