Sending money abroad..... quickly

[Cacciotti]

My brother has just flown out to Tunisia for a weeks holiday. But unfortunately he's managed to leave his wallet with his cash card and money at home. Any ideas on the best way to get some funds to him? Dont want him to waste his week!

Thanks!

He could go into a bank over there and ask if they have any facility to receive some money on his behalf.
You could then visit your branch and pay them around �25 to send money electronically but this takes at least 2-5 working days.

I presume he's not alone? Pay some money into the (UK) account of whoever he's with and they can withdraw it on his behalf.

Western Union is your best bet, failing that the post office has a system to send funds abroad called a Moneygram. Both of these are fairly pricey (�10+) but the money is there within a few mins.

Could you deposit some money with the foreign office here so they can ask the British Embassy in Tunisia to give him the amount you've deposited?
