rhys 0 #29 October 16, 2010 Hi VB, I have noticed the same type of paranioa from americans. it is like they think if you have thier bak details that you can withdrw money from them... You do have several other options. The easiest is a debit card. It is just like a credit card but you only spend your own money. All the banks here in NZ are outsourcing their cash cards to visa and mastercard, it makes online purchasing easy, and no debt. Another option is moneygram , this is by far the fastest way to send cash and give cash. I sent a bit back from the states using moneygram. You just go into an agent, there are lots of them, and fill out the form (bring your ID), you simply give the full name of the recipient and upon presenting ID they pick up the money in cash. They can do so 15 minutes later. It cost me about US $35 to send US $3k to NZ so not much in the great scheme of things and similar to wire transfer. I hate cheques too, I had one sent for 2 tandem canopies and after 2 months I gave up on it... another month later it showed up... 3 fucking months are you serious!!! haha but seriously, get a debit card they are easy, I would be surprised if you cant get one, many euros that we have jumped over the past few years have been using them....
