Getting Paid On Board And Remitting Money

SACS provides a service called “My Crew Wallet Card”, which allows you to enroll for the My Crew Wallet pre‐paid Visa Debit Card Program. You will receive a Visa debit card that allows you to draw cash on board or at any Automated Teller Machine (ATM) with the Visa logo, which might be paid out in Rupees depending on location of the vessel. You can also make purchases where Visa cards are accepted. Please note that ATM fees might apply when drawing cash from an ATM ashore. Your wages will be deposited in US Dollars onto your pre‐paid Visa Card. Once a month, the Crew Accountant operates a “Virtual Terminal” that allows crewmembers to withdraw up to US $ 500 from their monthly wages in cash. The Virtual Terminal Service or possibly ATM is at no cost to you! The Pursers also provide assistance with Western Union money transfers online or Internet wire transfers to an account or accounts of your choice. Internet access for a money transfer/wire feature is free of charge, but there is a charge for the actual transfer. You can inquire with the Pursers on board regarding the applicable fees. Crewmembers must have a valid e‐mail address to be able to sign up and manage their My Crew Wallet and Western Union accounts.
