Actually dear, in that shape of forex rates they deduct their service charges! However WU service is highly recommended for Google Adsense Publishers because it is effective from other payment options!
Dude Wu exchange rates are atleast way better then your local currency Exchange company Rates. As I been to alot of them in Pakistan exchangers gives u way lesser then the actual rate. if you go to xe.com the rate for Canadian $ to Pak rupee is almose 73 and here I was getting 68 ruppe for each dollar from local exchanger. WU is a worldwide known company they just work like your bank. I know the exchange rate will be 1-2 cents less but trust me its way alot better then your local currency Exchange company. I recive payments from Adsense through EFT in Canada even my bank conversion rates are 0.50 or 1 cent lesser then posted on xe.com or other exchange websites online. YOU WILL NEVER GET THE RATES YOU SEE ON YOUR LOCAL TV CHANNELS NEWS EVERY DAY LIKE PTV OR GEO
I have a queston...if someone can answer...WU and GPO ... both are WU agents...But are there rates different when it comes to pick payment from them for adsense...
WU ... 1. fast, cheq slow. 2. Low fees, cheq high fees. 3. No miss delivery. 4. clear on the spot, cheq one month. and bank exchange doesn't ain't low ...
In my country WU is best in service than other local money transfer businesses here... They can give you local conversion amount or in dollar options. And they dont take from your money as it is already paid by the sender....
There's no questioning the fact that WU is the way to go, fast and reliable, imagine how much Google spends on fees alone. If it was any other company they would probably deduct the tranfer fees.
Its not 1-2 cents less. You lose about a rupee for every dollar you earn if you receive money via WU. With WU the sender can choose to either a) have a fixed rate determined at the time the money is sent or b) have a floating rate that is determined at the time of money collection. I believe with google they have chosen the former so it shouldn't matter when or where you pick up the money. Farhajr why is that you still complain about WU? Last year I replied in a similar thread of yours: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=11485034#post11485034 You should realise that there is no free payment method out there. Everything costs money even receiving it
