Hi Paul - Do you know from your list of banks (including JP Morgan) which ones offer integrated banking between countries like Mexico and/or the Philippines? We have a lot of illegal immigrants here in California who currently send money back to their home. Most use Western Union but I read someplace that a big new market is opening up for the large integrated Banks to provide country to country bank transfers through their local branches and affiliates. Some reports state that $60 Billion is transferred out of the U.S. each year by illegal immigrant workers. I recently had to send some money to the Ukraine and ended up using Western Union Money with my credit card. The total fees paid were $58.65 for a $120 transfer. $27 went to Western Union and $11.65 went to JP Morgan Chase. I sure would like to get a piece of these fees. Any idea as to who the big players are and if they have targeted this growth market? I believe Citigroup is best positioned but they were not able to handle my Ukraine transfer. My only option was with Western Union. EKS
