As mentioned above, has any tried sending money thru western union app.? Usually I ll drop by the physical shop to do the transaction, but suddenly maid family need the money urgently, so I intend to send money thru WU Apps.
Thanks in advance.

I quite frequently use. Need to eKYC before first time use. For me it was quite fast, within 30 mins of uploading my IC and face, dah verified. Previously I transfer via Public Bank website. Quite a lot of steps, WU app much more straightforward.

Not all. CIMB has their own remittance service, Speed Send iinm. So no WU service.

Yes. Only use the app now, no more using Public Bank website. Transferred using the app quite a few times already, no issues so far. Same like transferring at branch, will immediately get MTCN number.

First of all, transfer to where? Your maid i assume is filipino? I send quite often to my wife when she was at Philippines. Also, got send to her dad before when she was here. She transfer the money to me and i send to her dad. Quite straight forward. been using it for a few years. lol. they will charge extra rm5 i think as service charge.
