Xoom or Paypal for Outsourcing

by Michael Thai

Hi all,

Anyone can tell me is it cheaper to use Xoom or PayPal to pay staff from the Philippines please? I was told that Xoom's rate is cheaper but when I checked the rates using PayPal seems to be cheaper. Now I am confused, can anyone tell me please ?

    First of all: with xoom you pay the fee, with paypal the recipient pays the fee. Second: fee depends on money sent, so you have to compare for specific price points.

    Which one to use actually is not a matter of fee. You will find that many people on the Philippines don't have Paypal and in those cases xoom is the way to pay.

    If using PayPal, it might be worth investigating the use of Mass Pay to reduce fees. You pay the fees using that approach, and the fees are lower.
