based on my experience,
kung anu ung currency na maipapadala mo dun, un ang mattanggap nya,
since ang western union eh remitter lang sila, kumikita rin sila sa panget nilang conversion rate
and ofcourse ung transfer fee
Did that twice,
one is from philippines to japan , the other one from saudi to japan. all are converted to the currency where your receiver lives in.
take note, mejo mahal nga lang sa Western Union, pero eto ang pinaka madali at pinaka convenient na paraan para makapag xfer ng pera
(may ipapabili ka no? hehehe)
