This makes it convenient for the recipient to withdraw cash anytime, and they are spared the trouble of having to wait for banking hours but you can still send money through banks even if the recipient does not have an account.The banks can either deliver the money door to door or let your recipient pick up the money from their branches or pick up locations. You can avail of the services of the following banks: BPI Remittance, Citibank, Equitable PCI Bank Express Padala, PNB Europe, PNB Rapid Remit, RCBC Telemoney, Security Bank, and UCPB.Claiming the money is quick and easy. With Western Union, the recipient does not have to spend precious time waiting for the bank to open because Western Union outlets have sprung up almost everywhere, even pawnshops on a 24-hour basis. The recipient can pick up the money the minute you send it by presenting even one valid identification card. If sent through LBC, recipients can also pick up the money in LBC outlets during office hours.
