We have not gotten any quotes yet on exactly how much each company would cost. I have just read on google that everything is pretty expensive. We both have bank accounts (mine in USA and hers in Colombia), but her family has done it before and it cost over $100 because as stated above both banks charged a fee.
zpaul: how much does it cost for the WU transfer? Have you tried moneygram?
Any other ideas? I was hoping paypal, but I read that they were expensive as well. There are websites like xoom.com that looks like they charge $5 but that seems to be only usa to colombia.
