maybank2u FTT, RM10, but takes up to 3 days.

AFAIK, no money changer in Taiwan takes MYR. Even bank also reluctant.

so i must send TWD instead of rm?

surcharge only RM10?

Not too sure. Different country different pricing. Better you go to bank with western union sign and ask. Transfer done in 10-15mins.

Can ask the bank person for alternative ways as well.

oh?
bank with western union?
u mean i go city bank and ask?

Any bank with the western union logo outside can use already.
Western Union direct transfer to his name, he just need to go to a bank in Taiwan with western Union and collect it in cash
