We Innovate

Focusing on our customers’ needs has kept us innovating to connect people—across physical, political and economic borders—for 169 years. We build history-changing platforms to keep people in touch with those they care about.

Strategy & Objectives

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.

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 business users, including retailers, financial and educational institutions, and NGOs, use our Cross-Border Payments, Risk Management and Compliance, and Cash Management Solutions.

Consumer Money Transfer

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 move money in local currency to and from nearly everywhere in the world. WU.com transactions can initiate in more than 70 countries, and our mobile app works in 36 countries.
