Exactly this. Recently Xoom and Western Union banned a friend from sending monthly remittances to his relatives back in Africa; he sends like $100 each, to eight relatives in Africa. First Western Union banned him, because it found him suspicious. Later, Xoom also banned him. Weird excuse was that some bank/store clerk in Africa has suspicions about these transactions.
- 14 7y agoSo do you think to these people something like Bitcoin would have an appeal? I am asking because the theme that Bitcoin has no appeal has come up a couple times lately here on HN and some people think it is completely useless. I have never used Bitcoin so do not know it's limitations. Could your friend conveniently send his family money in Africa that way?
