I was fixing to send some money to Nepal but Muncha said they don't have their service available in Texas (http://www.muncha.com/money/) I don't know what they were thinking when they didn't decide to add Texas at first. Well, can anyone help a brother out and direct me to some websites like Muncha who doesnt charge anything if it's over 2500?

Try thamelremit.com
Their rate is pretty good. They just redesigned their site and I would say they are the most technologically advanced money transfer agent to Nepal right now.
You don't even need to put checking account and routing account number. They offered a login screen where you can directly login to your bank and choose the account from where you can deduct money.
Your monthly limit is 2500 but you can increase it upto $10K. They even send you the receipt of the delivery in email. If you need faster service then you need to call them directly. There is no fee for above $2500 transfer.

Is it legal to send $$ through munch.com OR thamelremit.com? I have earned $$ here by paying taxes, so don't wanna convert it into black just to save few bucks.

thamelremit is legal.

Sajhamitra,

I just tried to create an account on thamelremit.com but it says that I already have an account with muncha. I think they both go through the same server or something. The point is thamelremit.com didnt helped.

Looser,
Thamelremit and muncha may be using the same engine i.e coinx. I would say directly call them to this number 503-542-7445. Leave the voice message if they don't respond. They usually respond pretty quickly within few hours or immediately. Just explain them what you are trying to do.

I just called that number man, they said Muncha and them both go through same system. And the guy told me to wire the money to their bank account . The whole thing sounded fishy plus my bank will wire transfer the money to Nepal for 45 bucks so why would i wire transfer the money to them. I wish Muncha would unf@#$k themselves so that it would be easy to send money again.I used their service couple of years ago and had no problem with it.

Their transfer fee is just $10 not $45 if you are sending less 2500.

Best way to send money nepal is through www.prabhuremit.com.There is no more charge if you send more than $1000. Within 4-5 business days, recipients can get money easily online.

Hey does any one know if there would be any problem sending about 25 K through these money transfer service, the cash here is all white..

You can do WIRE transfer through any major US banks such as BOA, Chase, Wells Fargo etc. The exchange rate is much better (market rate) than Muncha or Thamel Remit, and the fee ranges from $25-45.

Mailo Bhai,

I just talked to my bank and they said they'll charge 45 bucks and since they dont carry Nepalese Rupees, they'll transfer dollars to the bank in Nepal. So, My question is will the bank in Nepal charges me more and what will be the exchange rate?

try prabhu money transfer. They give you better rate than muncha.

Nepalese bank uses worst rate than the banks in US, so u don't wanna deposit in USD in Nepalese bank. Better to use money transfer agency and than doing wire transfer.

I have never tried but it sounds like bank to bank transfer will be the most appropriate/legal way to send chunk of $$ in Nepal. I am not aware of how much a bank in Nepal will charge for incoming amount but here is US most of the major banks have flat rate for international transfer.

@Looser: The Bank will deposit NRs with the conversion rate of the day the transaction is executed in Nepal....you can research/try other avenues to see if the rates are better but IMHO, WIRE transfer was easiest and most secure, and the rates are bank published rates......and above all, no limit. The fee is the same if you transfer USD 1 or 40k. Having said that, the rates will always be less than if you exchange it in Nepal in person in Thamel or other places....

I tried BOA .they charge $35 but the exchange rate they offer was very low...1$=93..
