Hi guys, I need a bit of assistance...

I need to pay someone in China via one of the following payment methods - western union, bank transfer or money gram.

Which one is the easiest and how do I go about doing it?

Thanks in advance...

Depends on how much??? I transfer all the time to PRC (I have an office there). For smaller amounts up to AU$400 I just get my Chinese secretary to draw from an ATM using a card I have given her. The bank fees are AU$5 per transaction (max transaction around AU$400 depending on exchange rate).

She then direct deposits to the company account I wish to pay - be aware there is ususally a bank fee to deposit to an account EVEN if it is at a branch of the same bank! About 40RMB is normal.

If you are doing a 'once off' I am happy to help you with it via my method - PM me if interested.

Cheers,

Mike
