Western Union Announces
Fees as Low as $10
for Money Transfers
Denver: Western Union Financial Services,
Inc., a worldwide leader in money transfer services, has announced
a major reduction in service fees, which will result in increased
savings for customers sending money from agent locations in
New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, and Pennsylvania
to the South Asian countries of India, Bangladesh, Pakistan,
Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Maldives. Customers sending up
to $500 will pay only a standard $10 service fee, with an
additional $5 in fee added for each incremental $500 sent.
These new competitive fees, combined with Western Union’s
world renowned speed, convenience and reliability reinforces
Western Union’s commitment to offer more value to our
customers. “With this new pricing reduction, Western
Union adds yet another great service feature for our customers
who send money home to loved ones in South Asia,” said
Ruchika Kohli, assistant marketing manager for Western Union’s
South Asian Region. “Western Union’s new pricing
plan allows customers to send money more economically than
before, while still receiving Western Union’s safe,
reliable and fast service.”
The $10 fee was previously available for money transfers in
Georgia, Texas, and Massachusetts but has now expanded to
New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, and Pennsylvania.
Now, thanks to this new, lower price and competitive exchange
rates, Western Union means even more value and savings for
our customers, so their recipients get even more money for
every dollar sent with Western Union.
Sending money through Western Union is easy. Customers can
visit one of the more than 46,000 agent locations in the US,
fill out a form, and send the money. Currently, there are
more than 24,000 agent locations across the South Asian subcontinent
