Yes, we do live in the credit card era, but you might find yourself in a situation when you'll need to receive money from home, and receive it quickly. Your documents might got stolen, you might miscalculated your vacation cost, you have the opportunity to receive money for some work you've done before your vacation... All in all, you might need to receive some money from abroad.
Two major money transfer services are present in Croatia and can be used in Dubrovnik: Western Union and Moneygram.
Western union works with most of the banks, and what's more important, works with Croatian Postal Service (Hrvatska Pošta), which has offices in practically every village in the country. Rates don't vary much (if at all), no matter which Western Union partner you choose. When receiving money through Western Union, you'll be immediately paid out in cash, in Croatian Kuna currency. To check Western Union offices and partners positions worldwide, go to this page.
Moneygram agent is Atlas Travel agency exclusively. In contrary to Western Union, on receiving payment through Moneygram, you will not receive cash, but American Express Traveler Checks, which you can cash in to Croatian Kuna currency without a charge in PBZ (Privredna Banka Zagreb) bank. One PBZ office is placed right in Dubrovnik old town center main street, Stradun (don't worry about finding that street, once you're in old town center it's more than obvious which one it is). You can locate Moneygram agents location worldwide on this page.

Please check this link for new info on Money transfer services in Dubrovnik.
The first thing for which most of the overseas workers are confused, is that they don’t know whether they should send the money using an international bank that can send the remittance to their loved ones or should they select a local money transfer company?Send money abroad
