    Find someone you trust who's going there anyway and send it with them in cash.

    If the amount is not over the limit:
    HSBC ATM cards can withdraw HKD free of charge in Macau. No need to carry cash.
    I have accounts in HSBC Hong Kong and Macau and can remit free of charge (premier).

    Are you sure about the HSBC no fees? When I was in Macau 1 month ago I withdrew $2000hkd from my HSBC HK account and they charged me a $20hkd fee.

    You could try UAEXchange or WesternUnion in WorldWidePlaza in central. A friend of mine had sent money through them to macau through them as I remember.

    It really depends on the amount - are we talking HK$100 or HK$1M or what?
