The more I look at this, the more there's a need for international money
transfer. I guess PayPal cover most of this, though not seen it used here
yet. That might be a step forward. I don't suppose those without cards can
get PayPal either of course. PP remains one way of getting funds moved,
though getting to use it after that, clearence and all that, remains a moot
point I think.
Those paig debit cards aimed at the kid/offspring market are no real answer,
they charge a fortune to use it, for anything and everything; and all at a
price. e.g: charge a $ every time you buy something, no matter what or how
much. Some charge by the month for having it, some charge something for
adding funds, and so on. Like PayPal I suppose, real service provision has
to be paid for, it is a business after all. They just know how to best milk
the most vulnerable sectors of the market.

Hey how does this work? I live in the Uk but do have a close friend who
is checking out and working in Western Australia. So how could I send
her a gift? Just curious and may not look into this. Cheers!
