Wells Fargo has launched the ExpressSend money remittance service, which offers free or low-cost international fund transfers for customers who have Wells Fargo checking or savings accounts. These customers can send funds directly from their Wells Fargo account to unbanked recipients in Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Vietnam and the Philippines. "Whether or not a customer pays a transaction fee depends on the accounts they hold with Wells Fargo," a bank spokesperson told CI. "People who do have to pay a fee will see it discounted by 50 percent." To promote the service, all ExpressSend customers will have no transaction charges until 30 September 2007. Customers can choose to have money sent from their Wells Fargo account either to a recipient's bank account or to a bank branch if they are unbanked. Recipients are able to withdraw the funds at ATMs if they have an ATM card.
