    Hi Guys,

    I have an American friend who is currently traveling in France. She was asking me if it is possible to send money (about 1000 euros) to Austria to pay for a tour she will be going later in the summer. She doesn't have a European bank account but would like to try sending money from from France to the Austrian bank account either via Moneygram or Western Union. She is not sure which one would be better in terms of service and value for money (i.e., lower charges).

    Is anyone here familiar with both companies and can offer a comparison?

    I really appreciate it!
