It’s not every day that a television commercial changes your life. But that’s exactly what happened when Sandra Aguilar saw author and former Univision anchor Angélica Atondo on her television, talking about Pangea Money Transfer.
Sandra, who has lived in Chicago for the last 20 years, frequently sends money to her mom in Mexico—and of course, will be sending money to Mexico in time for Mother’s Day!
Before Sandra learned about the Pangea Money Transfer app, she used Western Union and other money transfer services, and would just cross her fingers that a store would be open if her mom called needing money. To make it more stressful: “In some places I even paid $10 for only one transfer! That was way too expensive for me,” Sandra says.
Timing and fees are especially important for Sandra and her mother, who is sick and saving money for an important surgery. When Sandra needs to send money to Mexico, it goes toward her mother’s medicine, to help her save extra for the surgery.
“Thank God that I learned about Pangea,” says Sandra. “I installed the app on my cell phone and I can now send transfers at any time, regardless of where I am, and my family receives it in minutes.”
Along with the convenience of not having to leave home to send money to her mom and other family members in Iguala, Guerrero, Sandra loves being able to rely on the low fees. “I always know for a fact that I am not paying hidden fees,” she says. No more $10 surcharges and rushing to the store!
Plus, it’s easier for her mom (and grandma) to receive the money now. “They are very happy with the service,” Sandra says. “To pick up the money in cash at any Elektra, they only need the confirmation code, which they receive automatically, and their Mexican ID.”
It’s always wonderful to hear #PangeaStories like Sandra’s!
