Why you should stop sending money abroad via bank, old-school finance services or remittance companies? Here are the 4 main reason.

 

No-Fee-With Winngie

1-High commission fees.

Sending money overseas with a bank or western union will cost you min 10$ to average 50$ for each time. Insane! Why you need to share your salary with those chunky bankers? Save it with your belovers in homeland. There should be some solution for this old style monopoly system.

 

 

2-Slow process and no guarantee.

Remittance companies said they are cheaper yes like 5$, but plus currency change rate which is unfair so you will lose like 5$ more from rates and they are slow like turtle. It will take weeks to perform transaction or you can receive an undelivered message after weeks of waiting. Do you or your family have weeks to receive money from you? What if they are sick or need to pay for school fee. Money transfer should be ontime and certain.

 

 

3-Unfair exchange rates during money transfer.

Your money will melt like an icecream in your hand. Yes, rate issue. You want to send money to your home back but your bank or western union or remittance companies like tranferwise or worldremit is charging you super unfair amounts with the local money exchange rates.  So you can lose up to 16% beside the transfer fee. But why, is changing money to local currency that have that much cost, need any labor, need investment on manufacturing lines? Of course no, so what’s the reason for super high rate differences.

 

4-Bothering documentation to send money.

You need to prove so many documents and permissions to send or receive money from abroad in most of countries. Incase some urgent situation, if you need some extra money from your family, banks and government’s won’t allow you to do that and will ask for dozens of pages’ documents. For what? Just to receive money from your dad?  We, honest people, shouldn’t have to suffer because of a few illegal guys.

 

There should be some new way fintech tools to solve all those problems.

Winngie is one of the solutions already in the market. Its called smart and easy way to send money abroad and exchange local currency.
Logic is simple but also clever. Match with people in cross countries who wants to send or receive money. Chat, deal with their receivers. Perform the transactions’ in local. Money never actually crosses any borders.

Instead of international money transfer and currency exchange companies commonly using, Winngie takes a unique approach towards abroad money transfer and currency exchange with a simple mobile application. Part of the “sharing economy,” Winngie offers you someone’s currency as a media to exchange, instead of an exchange office or transfer via bank. On Winngie, you can find people to exchange currency on your backpacking trip through Europe, or you can find someone to transfer your school fee during your internship in Los Angeles. Also, if you want to exchange leftover currency in your own home from your last trip of Thailand, you can exchange through Winngie and save money by exchanging without giving any commission.

Everything is getting changing quick lately, and we are facing hard time to follow up new trends. I am sure there are many people like me who thinks herself as updated and following all details and news on time and aware of new concepts, we are more open minded and eyes open than previous generation for sure.

Actually I use Airbnb lately a lot, it is so handy and amazing to get a great deal. Uber, as a nice and proper way, gets the taxi anywhere I want, no more taxi line.

Lately I am using this application called as Winngie, and it is so handy. I did know it before but never try to use. Once I was in Tokyo for a business and on the way back to Thailand, I realized I had insane amount of Yen left, and I didn’t know how much currency difference I would lose if I exchanged it back USD and then Thai Baht. Then I just used Winngie at the airport first time ever. Wow! It is an amazing application. I got a Japanese lady who just came from Thailand and she has Thai baht on her and then we matched. We both got amazing rate, we met, and exchanged our money without even waiting on the line. I saved my money, and she was so lovely. We were both happy!

It is like when you line up on the exchange office and you see someone who wants to exchange money that you also want to get money. You know she will exchange money with very bad rate, and you will get that money from exchange office with worse rate too. Both lose and lose! However, you cannot stop her and ask if she can exchange with you directly.

Winngie is that platform. It does for you. I didn’t use before, and I always lost money. For me, it was a common process and it was something expected to lose over currency exchange rate.  Now no more!  I don’t think I will wait for exchanging bad rate.

When first time I used Uber, I felt same as well. No more taxi lining or waiting. It is not something I would like to wait for. Uber saves my time and I feel safer as all information of driver has already been registered and makes me more comfortable as my route has been recorded already. As a woman travelling alone, I feel more relax and safer with Uber. It happened in Airbnb as well, and now I feel same for Winngie as well.

It is so great to get some new application that helps us and work on our essential as a niche market. Work hard on what we need and solve the problems directly. I am so jealous of the mindsets of these platforms, solving the problems with way of changing the things in total.

I really need Airbnb, Uber and Winngie in my life, and I didn’t even know them before. It is like missing Iphone, but we haven’t had smart phone in our young ages. Fantastically, everything is on the move. Last time, it was Winngie, and I am not sure what would be the next one.
