Choose how the recipient will collect the money
Western Union combines online sending with service at agent locations. For an available route, cash collection can be compared with the offered cashless methods. Support and cost depend on the sending country.
A promise of delivery in minutes applies to particular transactions and conditions. Identity checks, location opening hours and additional requests can extend the time.
If cash is needed
Before sending, check a convenient collection point, the currency and opening hours. The recipient's name must match their document. Share the transfer control number only with the recipient; do not publish it openly.
- Check document requirements in the receiving country.
- Keep the receipt and transaction number.
- Make sure the transfer is available for collection.
- Do not treat a sent payment as cash already received.
The cost of first and repeat transfers
Compare the exchange rate and fee together. A lower visible fee may accompany a less favourable exchange. For a repeat payment, switch off the bonus specifically for Western Union if you have already used its welcome offer.
