Much cheaper to go to a store and wire funds directly. Less hoops to jump through as well.

It's a pain in the ass bro.

they pull up your credit, need a SS#. You can't do it online they make you call.

They ask you all kinds of questions then on the phone. It takes longer than doing it in person.

After two times, you don't need to call anymore, and it's much faster than driving to the WU. Also, it's NOT *much* cheaper. For me, each time, it was a whole $5 cheaper if I'd gone to the WU store, but then considering gas, it would even out anyhow.

The paper trail is definitely much less if you go to the store though vs. online.
