We’ve said a few bad things about banks profiteering off illegals, and about First Data/Western Union whose main business is remittances, frequently from illegals, but recently I discovered another major player in the remittance industry: the United States Government. To be specific the United States Postal Service, which has a program called Sure Money (DineroSeguro®). Here’s their pitch:

It’s easy to wire money with Sure Money (DineroSeguro®). Whether you are sending it to a business or to family or friends, all you have to do is visit a participating Post Office* and send your money. It will be transferred in just 15 minutes to a participating branch in the destination country.

Participating countries include:
Argentina
Colombia
Dominican Republic
Ecuador
El Salvador
Guatemala
Honduras
Mexico
Nicaragua
Peru

Amazing, isn’t it?
