3 ways to send money online
With Eid al-Fitr approaching you may find yourself wondering how to give your younger friends and relatives their Eid al-Fitr money without thinking of making a quick run to the bank so you’re not short of cash when it’s time to celebrate.
Gifting Eid money and making transfers can be done all through your mobile banking app. Long gone are the days where you needed to put on your shoes and run to the bank. Now, with evolving technology, it’s become easier to send money to anyone, anywhere with just a few taps on your smartphone.
By opening your mobile banking app, you’ll find several ways to transfer money quickly and safely from the comfort of your own home. Here are 3 of the simplest ways to transfer money online, just in time for Eid!
Bank transfers
Bank transfers are one of the most common ways of sending money locally and internationally. Through your bank’s mobile app, you’ll fill a couple of fields that include the account you want to send money from, the beneficiary’s account details, country, currency, and how the charges will be paid. Straight to the point, isn’t it? Within a matter of seconds, your money will be sent and ready to be collected once the bank processes your transaction.
There are two ways to transfer money from the app. You can choose to transfer money from the app to external banks — this includes banks other than your own based in Jordan or abroad, but this includes a small transfer fee you will need to pay for the transfer.
The second way you can transfer money directly from your app is to another Bank al Etihad customer, which does not come with any fees. The process here is even simpler and more convenient. All you have to do is open your mobile banking app and choose the beneficiary by using your own phone’s contact list.
Western Union transfers
Western Union is also known as the go-to financial services company when you need to send money to someone online directly or through cash pickup. But, did you know you don’t need to step foot outside your door but can instead transfer money with Western Union through your mobile banking app?
Simply open your app and head over to the payment section and scroll until you find Western Union. Fill in the required fields such as the beneficiary’s contact information, the currency, the amount and you’re all done! Be sure to look at the transfer fee as this will differ from country to country and currency to currency.
CliQ-Instant transfer
Now, you may or may not be familiar with the above transfer methods, but what about CliQ? It’s an instant transfer feature and it’s something like you’ve never seen before!
CliQ-Instant transfer is the latest service for your money transfers needs. It’s simple, instant, and available 24/7! With CliQ, you’ll need to create an alias, choose the account you’re transferring money from, fill-in your beneficiary’s information, set the amount and you’re done! All that in one sitting and in the blink of an eye.
CliQ transfers aren’t subject to any fees — meaning you can transfer money in an instant at no extra cost! This feature basically functions like a local e-wallet that is connected to your bank account and also allows you to transfer money to other banks without any fees. In order to take advantage of this feature, you only have to make sure the person receiving the money has a CliQ account as well.
The CliQ-Instant transfer service allows you to send and receive local transfers instantly anytime, any day, and at your own convenience.
So, if this Eid, you’re cooped up inside and can’t provide money by hand, or if you’ve got payments and bills to pay and you’re not looking forward to the hassle, then try one of these 3 transfer options. At the end of the day, our mobile banking app is meant to make your financial life simpler, easier, and more convenient.
