Use MoneyGram or Western Union if you don’t have a bank account. Both accept cash.

You will find service counters in supermarkets, gas stations and pharmacies around the country. To find one near you, go to WesternUnion.com or MoneyGram.com. Minimum wire transfer fees for both MoneyGram or Western Union range from $4.95 to $9.99. Maximum fees depend on the amount of money being sent. - 3

Save money and time by sending money through an online wire transfer service. While your bank, Western Union and MoneyGram offer online wire transfer options, PayPal charges less. If you sign up for a free PayPal account and fund your transfer with a credit or debit card, you'll pay 3.4 percent of the total transaction plus 30 cents. PayPal charges no fee if you have a PayPal account and use it or your bank account to fund the wire transfer. Once you have set up a free account at PayPal.com, look for its "send money" link to get started with your wire transfer.
