Description:

Moving Money Western Union moves money across borders for families, businesses and communities. From an Agent location to a local currency paid out in minutes to a loved one in another country; from our website or app to a merchant up the street; from your business account to a vendor’s account ten time zones away. Western Union helps people and businesses move money — helping build communities, grow economies, and realize a better world. In 2018, we completed more than 800 million transactions for our consumer and business clients. We continue to innovate, developing new ways to send money through digital, mobile, and retail channels, with an array of convenient pay-out options to meet business and consumer needs. In over 200 countries and territories In 200+ countries and territories We moved more than $300 billion in principal around the world in 2018 We moved over $300 billion in principal around the world in 2018 The capability to send money to billions of accounts worldwide Send money to billions of accounts worldwide We Innovate Staying focused on our customers’ changing needs has kept us innovating to connect people for more than 168 years. From the first wired transcontinental communications link, to the first fleet of commercial satellites, to money transfer services offered all over the globe, we have built history-changing platforms to keep people in touch with those they care about the most. Today, millions of customers use Western Union technology to safely send money to family members for education, housing, and health care. More than 50,000 users, including businesses of all sizes, financial and educational institutions, and NGOs use our Cross-Border Payments, Risk Management, and Cash Management Solutions. And a growing ecosystem of entrepreneurs is taking root on our platform, creating never-before-imagined solutions to customer needs large and small. Moving money looks easy: It isn’t. Businesses from global banks to celebrated fintechs struggle to move funds across borders, in near-real time, at scale and in compliance with national and international regulations. Western Union combines the required licensing; a pay-in network that includes both retail locations and digital and account payouts; a settlement mechanism that interacts with all these pay-in locations and calculates currency conversions on both the send and receive ends; and tracking and risk-assessment technology to support compliance with local regulations — to create the ONE truly global money mover. Consumer Money Transfer For individuals, we make sending and receiving money fit your needs. Online, via the WU App, over the phone, or in person at our hundreds of thousands of locations, you can send money in local currency to and from nearly everywhere in the world except North Korea and Iran. WU.com transactions can initiate in more than 70 countries, and our mobile app works in 36 countries. Our digital remittance platform is one of the largest in the world.
