Fyi MG does have online service. I use it all the time. They did randomly change my daily limit to $400 (with fees included). Kinda sux bc I used to send a lot more @ a time.
Give it a try!

Damn I keep getting unable to identify my identity, so the transactions are not going through, this is really odd. Going in person will let all no whats up when I can

Will be visiting WU myself tomorrow (in person at the grocery store) to send funds to a pretty hot area, I'll let you know if I have any trouble, Breacher.
Best,

Well Breacher, you're not alone. I got the exact same response you did yesterday - PM if me if you'd like and I'll let you know where I was trying to send the money, probably the same place you were trying. If that's the case, one of our vendors is going to have a lot of problems using WU...I sent one to a different location yesterday afternoon, and it went through with no problem - So I'm not flagged, apparently the receiver is not flagged (WU will tell you if that's the case) - Has to be the location.
Best,

I recently did an online MG for the first time. It was rejected and I was told to call their phone line. So I did and they wanted my life story, no joke. They do a mini credit check asking questions about my car, even my Dad's name, cities I have lived in, all kinds of credit type questions.
When it came time to talk about the transfer I had to answer just a couple of questions. Easy ones like, do you know them, what is it for. Answer yes and it's my contribution for a gift.
In short I was on the phone about 20 minutes and about 80% of the time talking about myself. This leads me to believe they were more interested in verifying my identity than the money transfer. So anyone who does this, just be ready to disclose some personal info. However, most of the info is public record kind of stuff.

They could be suspicious or just dotting their i's or crossing their t's. I am sure they also have some type(s) of regulatory oversight. With anti money laundering laws & such (unless you are a 1%) they could be covering their rear ends. I'm positive billionaires don't hide their cash thru wu transfers.

Both gave me a hard time sending online... sending in person works better without all the personal questions.. but I dunno what makes the difference on why they question some of us and don't others..
