How to Send Money with Western Union

Sending money should be easy. Whether you're sending money to family or friends or paying a bill, you shouldn't have to jump through hoops. That's where Western Union comes in. With over 500,000 agent locations in more than 200 countries and territories, chances are there's a Western Union near you. Here's how to send money with Western Union.

Create a WU Profile 

The first step is to create a profile on wu.com. You'll need to provide your name, address, and phone number. You'll also need to create a username and password. Once you've created your profile, you can add recipients so you don't have to enter their information every time you want to send them money.

Choose How You Want to Send Money 

Once you've logged in to your account, you'll need to choose how you want to send your money. You can either send it online or in person. If you choose to send your money online, you'll need to enter the amount of money you want to send, the recipient's name, and the country where they live. If you choose to send your money in person, you'll need to find a Western Union agent location near you. The agent will help you fill out a form and hand over the cash that you want to send. 

Track Your Transfer 

Once your transfer has been processed, you'll receive a confirmation email with a tracking number. You can use this number to track your transfer and see when the money has been received by your recipient.
