Consumers and businesses can quickly, reliably, and conveniently transfer funds, send payments, or pre-pay for services using the proprietary Western Union Money Transfer® network. As a technology leader, the Western Union Money Transfer® service is available online at westernunion.com, via the telephone through the 1-800-CALL-CASHSM number, and through Agent locations worldwide.
Western Union started in commercial payment services in 1989 with a service created for creditors to collect payments. Today, Western Union offers several easy payment options that millions of consumers use to send payments for their mortgages, auto loans, utilities, and more. Additionally, the company recently added services to make online auction payments and cash payments for airline tickets or catalog purchases.
A growing area for Western Union is prepaid services. Consumers can use the company’s vast Agent network to replenish their wireless phone minutes or prepay for local phone service. They can also purchase a Western Union® prepaid MasterCard® at participating Western Union Agent locations and use it at more than 30 million retail locations where MasterCard is accepted.
Not forgetting its roots, Western Union still offers messaging via a variety of direct mail services and even offers telegrams via the Internet for consumers who want to send a message with a personal and historical touch.
