Travel Forum / Destinations / Africa / April 2005Sending Travellers Cheques
Our daughter is in Malawi doing a gap year project. We want to send her some money. Can we send traveller's cheques or will she be unable to cash them because they have our signature on them?

There are other ways to send money, International Money Order is one, but, sending anything by post is a bit hit or miss to countries like this. If she has a debit or credit card then putting or transferring money into her bank or credit card account so that she can draw it out via ATMs or over a bank counter would be the easiest and safest way. Rob Thanks for the reply Evi > Evi wrote on 16/04/2005 10:38:56:- > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Rob Is she able to get to Blantyre or Lilongwe? If so, your best bet is Western Union Money Transfers. It costs a bit, but is very relieble. Regards, Marc >Our daughter is in Malawi doing a gap year project. We want to send her some >money.

Considering the impressive amount of money that goes that way I guess you can consider that a vote of confidence. It sure is expensive, but considering the costs, hassles, delays and risks of the alternatives in countries with primitive banking systems, Western Union is sometimes actually quite a good deal... Oh yes, Western Union is a VERY safe way to send money, and considering the risks that they take (with no risk to the customer), a very good deal too.
