I need to send money to a family member who is incurring charges while taking care of another family member. We are many states away. What are the easiest/most reasonably priced ways to send cash? The recipients pay pal account is messed up for some unknown reason. The recipient banks at a small town bank. We tried setting up a wire with our own bank via our online banking and it didn't work. I need another brilliant idea and see there are options out there but I am not familiar with this area. Thank you!

Most personal bank accounts do not allow wire initiation through online banking. Just go to your bank and have them process a wire for you. There will most likely be wire fees. You could also have your bank ACH the money as well which should not incur a fee.
 
Perfect! Thank you! I think this will work best!

Thought about this but she needs the funds now because of the delay with the first method. Thanks for helping!
Well, there's Moneygram or Western Union. I think Walmart also has something similar.

Same day transactions.
