Money Transfers to Mexico Offered at Post Offices

Lennox and Inglewood post offices are offering Dinero Seguro, a program that allows patrons to wire money to Mexico more easily.

The United States Postal Service has made Dinero Seguro, which means “Secure Money,” available at 230 post offices in Los Angeles in recent weeks. The service, previously available at a limited number of locations, will be available at more than 400 post offices in the county by the end of summer, spokesman David Mazer said.

Customers using Dinero Seguro pay a fee of $15 to $40 depending on how much money is wired. The funds are sent electronically to Bancomer, a bank with hundreds of branches throughout Mexico, and are available for pickup the same day.

“It’s safe and secure,” Mazer said. “It’s a good way of making sure the money gets there.”
