Money Transfer Services
Send or receive money from any Western Union location in more than 190 countries worldwide, including Mexico. This is a fast and easy to send cash quickly to friends or family as generally cash is available for pickup right away. Anyone who needs to send or receive money quickly from people who are supporting friends or relatives living in a foreign country, pleasure travelers, anyone who needs to pay a bill immediately, or business people who need to make fast international remittances. You cannot use the Western Union Money Transfer Internet service to directly or indirectly fund illegal Internet gambling or for any other illegal activity, including, but not limited to, money laundering, support for terrorist activities, fraudulent sales, solicitations or theft.

The sender initiates the transaction by completing a "To Send Money" form and paying the Agent cash to cover the transfer amount plus applicable fees. The Agent immediately processes the transaction. To pick up the money, the receiver completes a "To Receive Money" form at any Western Union Agent location and provides proper identification or answers a test question. The agent then pays the transfer amount to the receiver. Both senders and receivers may need to show a currently valid government-issued photo ID and provide additional information to meet U.S. government requirements, depending on the amount being sent or received. Sending money with the Western Union Money Transfer service from an Agent location does not require credit cards, debit cards, bank accounts, memberships or citizenship papers. Using an Agent location, you can send as much money as you'd like, although certain security compliance requirements must be met for amounts exceeding $3,000.00.

Payment Services
