    And if I tell my client to deposit my money directly to my bank account (I checked Xoom support my bank in India :)) I had to tell him my account Number .

    Thanks

    I assume gagandeep4687 is from India. If so, he can accept a maximum of 12 money transfers via WesternUnion,, has to fill up lots of forms when he receives it, and the sender has to pay a decent commission too. If he plans to get one payment per month and the amount is not meager, then it might be feasible, otherwise not.

    Western Union is far better than Xoom and that is from my experience.

    Well I encourage you to use Western Union because you can get the payment within an hour of the client sending the funds. Fees of sending through Western Union are borne by the client, not you.

    why not try to verify PayPal instead and withdraw it through your bank. You get CC's in 15 days from most of the banks in lieu of a small fixed deposit.

    Western Union money transfer is the safest way available. Moneygram and Xoom.com other 2 available options. There is no filling up lots of forms when you will receive the money but keep your drivers license or ID card for the identity verification if you want to receive money through this process.

    I personally prefer Western Union as it is well known, provides better professional customer support and easy to find everywhere. Moneygram and xoom.com are not as popular like Western Union. Fees will vary from 10$-15$.
