<p>I've tried a similar scenario and the problems seems to lie with Bisq.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes, this seems to be the case, as the transfer went fine.</p>
<p>Feedback from this experience indicate the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>there is no need to specify receiver's city, just country</li>
<li>there should be no need to specify currency in the payment account, since the whole point of Western Union is to work internationally regardless of currency
<ul>
<li>exception: countries with currencies in which Western Union has no presence in (a list should be made; but I assume most major countries are included)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>the trade protocol for Western Union currently requires payment sender to <em>email</em> a copy of the receipt to the receiver...surely this can be changed, since trader chat is now available?</li>
<li>fees are stupid high, obscene, and exorbitant (all at the same time)</li>
</ul>
<p>With that said, Western Union's online bank-to-bank service seems to have a totally different fee structure (much more reasonable), and it might have potential as a new payment method...will investigate it over the next few days and open a new thread if it's worth adding to Bisq.</p>
