I sent a sample payment of $300US to a friend's NCB account. The cost on my end was $4.99US and there was no cost on the receiver's end. The exchange rate was $128J/$1US. I sent the funds on 7/30 in the AM and the funds were available by 7/31 at the end of the business day. I'm very happy with this. Thanks cbtx for the referral!

You are very welcome, sadly for my purpose it won't work in Negril but it is a easy and inexpensive way to transfer $. Glad it worked for you.
Tom,
Excellent! Glad to know that this worked for you! For future reference for others, did Xoom say what the daily limit per transaction is, and did the recipient had to do anything on their end?
Thanks man!
Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
Rob - I didn't see a limit on xoom's website. I just picked $300 based on comments above. I'll try and send a higher amount before I come back down on 20/8. My friend confirmed the funds were in their account. No action was needed on their end. Xoom also texted and emailed both of us with status updates. This certainly beats waiting in line at Moneygram/Western Union locations only to be told (at times) that they a) are out of money b) your ID/paperwork is not proper c) some other BS reason(s).
Mine was simply a transfer to an existing NCB savings account. Funds sent by Xoom for pick up most likely have defined rules for pickup ID, etc. I do not have direct knowledge of those.
Tom
