Whoever is trying to do advertisement .... its a fake one.
UMTCL is NOT BETTER THAN money.muncha.com .

Here are two examples of how exchange rates are affected ...... for all your costs. And that is what how much your relatives get back.

If you cannot provide competitive rates, don't fool nepali people.


Amount (X) Fee (Y) Tran Fee (A) Total (T) Exchg Rate (P) you get (M) Actual Exch Rage
X Y z% of X T=X+Y+A P M = P*X R=M/T
Muncha $3,000 9.99 0 $3,009.99 64.3 192900.00 64.08659165
umtcl 3000 22 2.65 $3,101.50 64.9 194700.00 62.77607609
Muncha 1000 12.99 0 $1,012.99 64.3 64300.00 63.47545385
umtcl 1000 12 2.65 $1,038.50 64.9 64900.00 62.4939817

Tran Fee of 2.65% is only for credit card transactions, which 3% in Muncha

Method of Payment Internet Checks
Amount (X) Fee (Y) Tran Fee (A) Total(T) Exch Rate (P) you get (M) Actual Exch Rate
X Y z% of X T=X+Y+A P M=P*X R=M/T
Muncha 3000 9.99 0 3009.99 64.3 192900 64.08659165
umtcl 3000 22 0 3022 64.9 194700 64.42753144
Muncha 1000 12.99 0 1012.99 64.3 64300 63.47545385
umtcl 1000 12 0 1012 64.9 64900 64.13043478



Method of Payment Credit Cards
Amount (X) Fee (Y) Tran Fee (A) Total(T) Exch Rate (P) you get (M) Actual Exch Rate
X Y z% of X T=X+Y+A P M=P*X R=M/T
Muncha 3000 9.99 3% 3010.02 64.3 192900 64.08595292
umtcl 3000 22 2.65% 3022.0265 64.9 194700 64.42696647
Muncha 1000 12.99 3% 1013.02 64.3 64300 63.47357407
umtcl 1000 12 2.65% 1012.0265 64.9 64900 64.12875552

Even if others charge only 9.99 for $3000 transfer, UMTCL's actual exchange rate is still higher.

.My Mistake and I appologize.
I've already opened the account with untcl today.

Will be sending next month, if it countines to provide better and reliable service.

And one suggestion:
To make it convinient to people sending money, set up contact point in US/UK.

.One more suggestion

Defalut that fees page to "internet check" option. Just see other responses to this thread, it was not only me who got deceived by transaction fee.

Customers usually don't go to each and every pages, and options on each page. For better marketing, highlight the plus points (and also mention the catches if any, after that).

I think I am writing too much today, but was just going through "each options" in the pages.

In the Faq section, it is said, money can be withdrawn from your branches, atm's or POS's. But in "fees" section and in the "send money" section, it has an option for "Deliver to recipient" and "Deposit in recipient's account".

which one is true? Please remove contradicting statements/options from the pages.

Did this happen in the process of 'copying' muncha's 'look & feel'?

I don't know why .... muncha's and umtcl's website look 80% similar to me.

.Now I understand the business completely and I am getting enlightened minute by minute.

There is nothing wrong with umtcl ....... They are doing a good business and I wish them best of luck.

Now I can explain why muncha and untcl look similar. Its just because they are agents of actual money transferring site called RapidRemit, which itself provides such service and has the EXACT look and feel as that of umtcl and muncha.

Though umtcl is not listed as its agent in Nepal, money muncha is.
This doesn't rule out untcl is not agent of Rapid Remit.
I created a "test account" with untcl and got a call from Rapid Share for erroneous data entry. I don't know why umtcl is not listed as one of the agents ....

I will be using the best serive available in the market. And at present umtcl looks better than anyone else for better "actual exchange rate".

Thank you kwalkhu for correcting me .......... Now I understand the business of sending money.

Prakashji, Thank you for your valuable suggestions. We shall incorporate your suggestions ASAP. We are in the process of deafault page of fees to Internet checks.Use of branches, POS or ATMs is part of "Delivery to Recipient". UMTCL is not an agent of Rapid Remit. But if Rapid Remit want to use UMTCL's delivery network in Nepal they can. Both UMTCL and Munch and few others' service provider is PayQuik. Because of strict and expensive anti money laundering policies of US gov., it is not financially fisible for Nepalese companies to operate on its own in US.
