Hi,

A quick question about WU, can you send foreign currency? ie If a dealer wants US dollars can i send the dollars and WU will convert it and take out the nessecary GBP from my bank or do i have to work out the conversion rate and send the right amount of GBP?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks

They will ask you what type of currency do you want them to receive.

Better to get a sum in the local currency from the dealer unless the local currency is $ WU conversion rates are murderously expensive.
WU will not send amount in $ to anywhere they support the local currency so sending a $ amount will incur 2x conversions
If you are paying online through WU you have no choice but to use their rates

I would suggest Money Gram... cheaper and just as effective.

Yes rates are better with moneygram than WU although not so many agents
