With the Easy Send account, you'll receive an HSBC ATM card for your authorized user in the Philippines in 7 to 10 days.

You will also be notified of the Personal Identification Number (PIN). You will call the bank to activate the card AFTER the person in the Philippines has the card in their possession.

It is easy to make a transfer to the Philippines right from home. Call 1-800-975-HSBC (English) or log onto personal Internet Banking account. You don't even have to leave your computer. No wire transfer fees are involved.

Loved ones in the Philippines can withdraw the money FREE from HSBC ATMs. There is a $1.50 fee to withdraw from non HSBC ATMs. As long as the institutions that run the ATM's do not charge surcharges there are no fees.

If you withdraw the money in another currency besides US Dollars are subject to a currency conversion rate.

This look like a very promising way to beat all those Western Union fees, wire transfer fees, and other fees associated with many other companies.
