Moneybookers and AlertPay are secure methods of receiving payments online, and are much more time and cost effective than Western Union. Anyone with a bank account and an email address can receive money through these services.

Moneybookers send money worldwide. Their fees and supported withdrawal methods vary from country to country — check out their web site for more information.

AlertPay also send money worldwide. Check out the withdrawl methods they support on their web site.

Once you have received money, both Moneybookers and AlertPay give you the option of withdrawing money to your bank account or requesting a check.

If withdrawing funds via certified check, we recommend you talk with your local post office about the security of your local postal service. Also, we recommend you confirm if your local bank or Western Union office will cash your check once you have received it.
