My husband is working in Mauritius, sending money for household expenses to me in the U.S. We have found that Western Union is fast but very expensive, and a wire transfer from his bank account to mine (different banks) can take up to 2 weeks, which just seems crazy.

Does anyone have experience with sending money to the U.S. from Mauritius on a regular basis that is fast and affordable?

OR! Are there any United States banks with branches in Mauritius?
Thanks,
Vicki
