The sender begins the transaction by filling out a send money form and giving the agent cash to cover the transfer amount and any fees. The agent then promptly processes the transaction.

When using the Western Union money transfer service at an agent location, you don’t need credit cards, debit cards, bank accounts, or memberships. However, you will need to present valid identification.

You can typically send any amount you want. However, for specific amounts and transactions, you might need to meet security compliance rules. This could mean providing extra information or documents.

Typically, money transfers are disbursed in cash, but in certain cases, they may be issued as a money transfer check, a combination of cash and check, or, in select locations, by direct deposit into the recipient’s bank account.
