Best way to pay when holidaying in rustic areas, lacking in cash point facilities. Used it to pay at various hotels/services in Philippines and Sri Lanka. Plus, called to check about sending a payment to a company I lacked trust in, and they were very honest in letting me know its best to use their services with people you trust. Should there be an issue, and money is to be returned to you, the original recipient has to agree, and inform their bank to return the money. With credit cards and bank transfers, you have more security and much higher fees.
