MoneyGram / Western Union Frequent Asked Questions (Updated as at 17th February 2007)
Q1) Where can I see MoneyGram indicative exchange rate from Singapore (SGD) to my country's receiving currency?
Click Here to see MoneyGram's exchange rate and sending fee.

Q2) What is the difference between MoneyGram & Western Union?
MoneyGram offers better exchange rate and cheaper sending fee than Western Union. Using MoneyGram to send money to Vietnam will also enjoy extremely cheap sending fee, while Western Union does not offer any promotional sending fee for money sent to Vietnam.

Q3) Can you send Western Union funds to me in USD if my country agent can not pay out in USD?
No, we can only send in the currency which your country agent can payout. The amount of e-Gold sold to us, will be converted to SGD based on our website latest Sell Rate before being converted to foreign currency by Western Union, as our agent can only pay/receive in SGD. Similarly if you buy e-Gold by Western Union and sent in foreign currency, Western Union will convert it to SGD before pay us and then we will convert it to USD based on our site latest e-Gold Buy Rate.

Q4) How do you estimate Western Union Exchange Rate?
It is estimated based on a certain percentage below xe.com currency conversion rate, this percentage differs from country to country AND also the chosen currency that the sender wants the receiver to collect. We currently have an estimated percentage for over 90 countries, more countries will be added and updated rates regularly.

Below is an example to calculate the exchange rate from Singapore Dollars (SGD) to Thailand Baht (THB).
THB -> 1.11270% below xe.com currency rate
xe.com rate: 1 SGD = 23.7045 THB
1 - 0.01127 = 0.98873
23.7045 X 0.98873 = 23.437350

Hence the estimated Western Union Exchange Rate is 1 SGD = 23.437350 THB

Q5) How do you calculate the amount I will receive if I sell 1659.30 USD worth of e-Gold by Western Union to Thailand?
Below is an example for Express Priority Sell Order. The sell rate, Western Union rate and e-Gold receiving fee are expected to fluctuate. 

Express Priority 0.5% fee: 1659.30 X 0.005 = 8.30 USD
e-Gold receiving fee: 1.05 USD
Transport fee: 2 USD
Indicative Sell Rate: 1 USD = 1.585 SGD
Western Union sending fee: 32 SGD (for sending between 860 SGD to 2580 SGD to Thailand)

Estimated Calculation as follows:
1659.30 USD - 8.30 USD (Express Priority) - 1.05 USD (e-Gold receiving fee) - 2 USD (transport) = 1647.95 USD
1647.95 USD X 1.585 (Sell Rate) = 2612 SGD
2612 SGD - 32 SGD (Western Union sending fee) = 2580 SGD
2580 SGD X 23.437350 (Estimated Western Union Exchange Rate) = 60,468.36 Thailand Baht (THB)

Q6) I live in Romania where I can receive in USD, EUR & RON currencies with Western Union, which currency will you send to me?
If you did not specify the currency that you want to receive, we will send in RON as Western Union offers the best exchange rate from SGD to RON compared to USD and EUR. This also applies to other countries which can receive dual currencies.

Q7) Can I have a fixed amount to receive by Western Union rather than not knowing the exact amount I will receive?
Yes, but the e-Gold sell rate will be slightly lower than website rate to cover for any fluctuating of Western Union exchange rate. For this, you will have to write the exact amount and currency that you want to receive, in the "Instructions related to Western Union" column of the e-Gold sell order form. Then we will contact you via email and quote you the exact amount of e-Gold you will have to pay.


Q8) I want to buy 2000 USD worth of Gold, how much Singapore Dollars do I need to send to you by Western Union for Express Priority?

Estimated Calculation as follows:
2000 USD + 10 USD (Express Priority fee) + 2 USD (Transport) = 2012 USD
2012 USD X 1.64 (Buy Rate) = 3299.68 SGD

If you sent in different currency, Western Union will convert it to Singapore Dollars based on their latest exchange rate before pay out to us.
