Haiti Money Transfers - Western Union takes two dollars ($2.00) Instead of 1.50 dollars required by the government
All the Money Transfer Options to Haiti: Western Union, CAM Transfer, and Unitransfer and more...
I am not kidding...
Every time I send my cousin to collect money that I send to him via Western Union, If I send $100, they give him $98, if I send $300, they give him $2.98...
But guess what... If I send $301.50, they give him $300...
I guess the thinking behind this is that they do not have the 50 cent change... If that's true, then why not pay it in Haitian Gourdes?
If they are keeping the extra 50 cents nationwide, every day, which is basically 33% of the money the government is collecting, can you imagine how much money this adds up to?
You know that the funniest thing is?
The receipt says $398.50, meaning that's what they paid to my cousin when in reality they only paid him $398 dollars... Imagine if one Western Union agent pockets 50 cents on 1,000 money transfers... Somebody just made $500 dollars U.S.
QUESTION: Am I loosing 50 cents U.S. to Western Union in Haiti or are you experiencing the same thing?

They're all "fucking" thieves! They'll have to answer to 'karma', tôt ou tard! And then you'll hear them lamenting " OBon Dieu, mwen la konin sam fe map péyé!" I have also many times wondered about this $1.50, and them never having change to give back. They never have 50 cents to give back. This is an issue for me, because I send a lot of WU transfers to Haiti quiet often, and it sickens
This 50cents surplus is to give a 25cents raise to all Western Union employees by April 2016, the other 25cents is to put a new Money transfers office in every town of Haiti by next year 2017, so the Haitian people do not have to go to Port au Prince for money transfer.
Every town will have their own money transfer office in Haiti.
he 50 cents surplus is to create jobs in every town. Western Union will be in all towns in every department in Haiti.

Belladere is before Laschaobas-Croiffè.
The government of Haiti have to proof where they allow them to charge whatever they have to charge, I don't care about what they charge, everybody have to go on the Haitian's website and find all the information we need. I don't have any desire to pay the Haitian's government the tax extra tax to the thieves, Martelly and Lamorthe should know that but if they keep breaking your arms let me know that. Everything should clarified on the
