Sending money to another country can be expensive. People send money out of the country to relatives and friends on vacation, among others. One of the most important aspects of sending money is using a trustworthy and convenient method. Some features people expect with money-transfer services are same-day pickup and reasonable sending rates. Sending money to the Czech Republic is a simple process.
Check out the sending rates for MoneyGram and Western Union. The rates will vary based on the amount you are sending. To send using either service, you will need to provide a first and last name and the city and country to which you will be sending. You can send online using a credit or debit card, or you can send from certain banks or service locations.
Keep your transfer receipt. You will need to give the MCTN (Money Control Transfer Number) for Western Union or the reference number for MoneyGram to the recipient in order for him to pick up the money.
Send the recipient the MCTN number or reference number so she can use it to pick up the funds. The recipient will need a government ID and will need to fill out a transfer pick-up form providing her information along with the pickup number.
Send money using Paypal if the money does not need to be withdrawn immediately, if the money will be spent online using PayPal or if the recipient has a PayPal debit card. PayPal debit cards allow immediate withdrawal from a PayPal account.
Have the recipient open a PayPal account if he hasn't already. The Czech Republic is on the list of countries that allows money to be sent using a PayPal account.
Click the "Send Money" feature to send the money using the recipient's PayPal e-mail address. The recipient can withdraw the money by transferring the funds to her bank account, requesting a check from PayPal or using a PayPal debit card.
