Send Money Home Securely with ‘Dinero Seguro’

Pembroke Pines FL — The holidays are a time for families to share and celebrate together, regardless of the miles that separate them.

But when the distance is simply too great, this also is the time of year when many families send money back to their home countries outside the United States.

The U.S. Postal Service offers Dinero Seguro (usps.com/money/suremoney) and Postal Money Orders for those customers, providing them with a safe, affordable, convenient method of transferring money internationally and domestically.

Dinero Seguro enables customers to send up to $2,000 per transaction per day and is available at 2,800 participating Post Offices across the United States. Identification is required for transfers exceeding $1,000.

The system uses secure, electronic wire transfers between the Postal Service and thousands of participating bank branch offices in destinating countries. The recipient’s funds are available within 15 minutes, guaranteed, and without hidden, or additional fees.

Personal identification also is required for the recipients of funds in the participating countries. Recipients do not need bank accounts and pay no additional fees in their countries.

“Dinero Seguro provides a secure, electronic way to send money internationally that also reduces the time it takes to receive the funds from days to minutes,” said Paul Vogel, senior vice president and managing director of Global Business.

Dinero Seguro is provided in partnership with Bancomer Transfer Services Inc. of Houston. Participating locations are:

Argentina – BBVA Banco Frances
Colombia – Banco Davivienda, BBVA Colombia, Banco Granahorrar
Dominican Republic – Banco del Progresso
Ecuador – Banco de Guayaquil, Banco del Austro, Banco Internacional
