A money transfer is a transfer of money from one financial institution account to another. The actual transfer is done by the financial institution and neither the sender nor the recipient of the money sees of touches the actual funds. A money transfer from one financial institution to another is considered the most secure international payment method. Each account holder must have a proven identity.

Money transfers are conducted by Vigo which specializes in transferring money to Latin American & Caribbean countries. They can transfer money to most countries around the world; they have over 9,000 payment locations in Mexico alone.
