Have you checked out Telemoney's costs They're a fair bit cheaper, useful for those not on Iqama's.

Telemoney is cheaper but does it go to the US? This is what I saw when I googled it before:

Today TeleMoney provides fast remittance to the following countries:

Philippine - India - Bangladesh - Egypt - Sudan - Sri Lanka - Indonesia - Pakistan - Nepal- Turkey - Lebanon - Jordan -

It takes 2-3 days. I've sent quite a bit of money before--I don't know that there's a limit.

Hmm, odd that. I'm sure our staff from the UK, EU and Oz have used it. I'll ask around today.
