I was a Western Union operator 10 years ago. Back then it was $15 for every $100 you were sending.
Today, they have much cheaper options, though every transaction looks to take several days.[0]
Amusingly, their Price Estimator [1] continuously reloads with adblockers enabled.

- icebraining 9y agoSeems like Wire Transfer is the only option that covers all countries, and it's $22. That's much better than $15 per $100, but still higher than current Bitcoin fees, even with two transactions. Of course, it also depends on the exchange rates you can get, not just on the transaction fees.
