MONEY TRANSFER IN SANTA CRUZ

A money transfer is called a "transferencia de fondos" in Spanish, but most people just say "Quiero enviar dinero", meaning "I want to send money". There are plenty of locations where you can send or receive money using Western Union and one location that I know of where you can use Moneygram. Most are banks ('bancos') or credit unions ('cooperativas') acting as agents on their behalf. See the list below.

Some of the bank and credit union branches are found inside supermarkets. You can't receive money without identification, so don't forget your documents if you are going to pick up money sent to you by someone else. For your safety, I’ve eliminated from this list some agencies found in parts of town truly known to be unsafe, while striving to maintain a good variety of locations throughout different parts of the city so you'll have plenty of choices no matter where you are.

However, no part of town is 100% safe, so when you go anywhere where you will be handling money openly, be discreet, look around and behind you, and don't go alone or after dark if you can avoid it. Most of all, if you don't feel comfortable when you arrive for any reason, trust your instincts and leave. DO NOT ACCEPT U.S. CURRENCY THAT IS TORN because it will be rejected if you try to use it.

You can also transfer or wire money at most currency exchange houses.
