My daughter Jenny is going to study in the United States. I’ll probably have to wire her money pretty often. |
|
| Stacy |
： |
I always use the post office for remittances. It’s really convenient! You can send telegraphic transfers through the post office to family members or friends overseas. You can also directly receive remittances from all over the world, including mainland China, in your own postal savings account. |
|
| Anna |
： |
In that case, I can easily wire money to my children when they are studying abroad. |
|
| Stacy |
： |
Sure. And it’s also a safer, faster and more reliable way to send money to older members of your family from abroad. |
|
| Lucas |
： |
Right. My uncle lives in Europe, and he regularly remits money to my grandparents’ postal account. |
|
| Anna |
： |
Oh. So everyone is using postal remittances. |
|
| Stacy |
： |
Yeah. Postal remittances have so many advantages. You can make them in a variety of foreign currencies, including US dollars, Chinese renminbi, Hong Kong dollars and euros. |
|
| Lucas |
： |
And don’t forget that the post office has longer business hours than banks. You can even go there on weekends or holidays to wire money. |
|
| Stacy |
： |
There are 176 post offices around Taiwan where you can make remittances, and some on outlying islands even offer the service. More than 26 million postal savings accounts can receive transfers from abroad. |
