Andy's Favorites
- Sending and receiving money:
Paypal.com -
HIGHLY recommended that you sign up for this and use. It is the best way to send
and receive money. It is cheaper then wiring money and soon if not now you can
get a debit card. You need to do this before leaving home.

TRANSFERRING MONEY
- This is sometimes easy if the same name and the same bank. But for a
transfer from one name to another name. I make the bank or the account name the
payee and send a check from my Nationalcity.com
account to the bank address. I place in the memo section the account number. The
cost is basically free, but may take up to 3 weeks to occur.
