Do you ever do bank transfers?

Wires? No, not from books.

I used to receive wires from moneybookers.

Idebit is an eft service - same company as instadebit.

Idebit charges $2 to send funds to your bank acct.

I didn't know regular WU fees were that high in Canada.

The few times I've sent via WU or MG I sent less than $500 and it cost $15 at moneygram, WU was more expensive. The book picked up the fees anyway.


The new etransfer service from the banks means you can send funds 24/7 from the comfort of home, no lineups or having to go to a retail location, money comes right out of bank acct. instantly.
