other services

Our other services enhance our portfolio and provide consumers and businesses with additional convenient financial tools.

Western Union is a trusted source not only for money transfer and bill payment services, but also for money orders, prepaid cards and other financial services. Our Agent network offers these other services that allow our consumers to conveniently manage their finances.

money orders

Money orders are a reliable payment choice for those who may not have checking accounts. They can be used for making purchases and paying bills, and can be deposited directly into bank accounts or cashed at check cashiers, some banks and some retailers. Money orders can be purchased at participating Agent locations in the United States and Canada.

prepaid cards and services

The Western Union® Prepaid MasterCard® card is sold through our Agent network primarily in the United States and on the Internet. This service allows consumers to load money or receive a direct deposit from their employer onto the card for use at a later date. The card can be used to withdraw money from an ATM or shop online anywhere MasterCard debit cards are accepted.

In addition to debit cards, Western Union enables consumers to pre-pay for mobile phones, Internet access and other services. These “top-up” services allow consumers to store value with service providers that can be accessed by the consumer in the future.

corporate incentives

Western Union® Corporate GiftGramSM gift checks draw on the company's longstanding expertise in delivering money and messages. Corporate GiftGramSM gift checks offer companies an easy way to recognize employees, clients and customers. They consist of a gift check and recognition certificate customized with a message and the company's logo.
