US Postal Service expands reach of money transfer service
Sure Money(R), the Postal Service’s international wire transfer service, also called Dinero Seguro(R), has expanded its reach to Latin America and the Caribbean.
Available to Mexico since 1996, Sure Money now provides customers with the ability to transfer money to nine additional countries. They are the Caribbean country of the Dominican Republic; and the Latin American countries of Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru.
Sure Money offers customers an affordable, quick, easy, convenient — and safe — method of transferring money internationally. Customers can send up to $2,000 per transaction by submitting and presenting the appropriate form, available at 2,800 participating Post Offices. Identification is required for transfers exceeding $1,000.
“Postal money orders have long been a favorite way for people to send money to friends and relatives internationally,” says Chief Marketing Officer Anita Bizzotto. “And Sure Money provides an electronic alternative that reduces the time it takes to receive the funds from days to minutes.”
Sure Money uses secure, electronic wire transfers between the Postal Service and thousands of participating partner branch offices in destinating countries. The recipient’s funds are available in the destinating country within 15 minutes — guaranteed — and without hidden or additional fees.
“Customers trust the security the Postal Service provides,” says Bizzotto. “And with the expansion of Sure Money to additional countries, we can now provide this trusted service to even more of our customers.”
Personal identification is required for recipient of funds in the participating country. The recipient does not need a bank account and pays no additional fees in the destination country.
