|  Sending Money from Cancun to Canada Hello all, First of all, Merry christmas and happy holidays to everyone! I have a quick question and hoping someone can help me. What is the fastest/easiest way to send money from Cancun to Canada? For example, could a Mexican have a bank account there and transfer money to a Canadian account, or would they have to go through some other third party, like western union? Thank you |

| No need to use a third party like Western Union if the person has a bank account. They should just ask their bank to do a wire transfer. |

| Thanks for your reply steve. So to clarify, if the Mexican has a back account in Mexico, the person can wire money from Mexico to Canada? |

| Yes, shouldn't be a problem at all. I've never sent one myself but I do regularly receive wires from Mexican bank accounts to my UK bank account. Shouldn't be any different for Canada or any other country. |

| Yeah its probably the same as if you sent between US and CDN. Bank will probably charge you a certain amount or x% over the current exchange right for processing the transaction. |

| I transfer money to my property manager from the US all the time. I think the last time I transfer $1000 it cost me $7.00 USD |

| FYI: Scotiabank is here and it is a Canadian bank. Should make things easier. |

| @Bruce: I know there is a Scotiabank in Cancun and quite a few at that, but I was told that it is different than the one in Canada even though it is the same name/company?) Maybe that was the wrong info. I may consider going to Scotiabank if possible, I will check it out once I am there. @Kathleen, wow seven dollars for a thousand dollars being sent is a great price, which bank did you go to for that, if you don't mind me asking? Thank you all for the great info! |
