Wire Transfers from Mexico
Does anyone have any experience doing bank transfers from Mexico to other countries as a US citizen? What is required?
Thanks

you can do it at any western union office -which in Mexico is TELEGRAFOS TELECOMM
you will need full name address phone number for the recipient. All they have to do is register the same when they go to their local western union
feel free to U2U me if I can be of further help.

Put the Western Union app on your phone. Or use your laptop, westerunion.com.
No need to go into a store. You can send money from almost anywhere in the world.

All that was required was the destination bank's name, address, ABA number and receiving party's account number.

You can do it with Wells Fargo as well and don't need to know their bank info, making it safer.

A. First req was to use Western Union. Do xfer from laptop or phone, no need to go to a store to send money.
B. He said send money from MX to another country. With Wells Fargo you do it from your phone/laptop, you don't need a branch in Mexico. Who goes
into a bank?
WF rec is for anyone with a WF account. If not look what your bank offers or use Western Union.

sc-surfer did indeed say send money from Mexico to another country but I do believe he later said he would be spending his vacation in Mexico. Which
means he might have a wells fargo account and can send money from his phone or laptop.
Western Union can also apparently be done via the computer...who knew.
