Money Transfer Services
MoneyGram stands out in the marketplace as the money transfer service that delivers the greatest value to credit union members. The service typically costs less than a Western Union transaction, which is important because, generally speaking, the people utilizing this service are the least able to absorb high transaction fees. MoneyGram also offers additional value to members such as a free 3-minute call and a 10-word message to accompany funds, for transactions in the Western Hemisphere.
The credit union can conduct send, receive and express payment transactions, drawing unbanked or underserved individuals into the branch, generating revenue for the credit union through commissions paid to them by MoneyGram. Program features include:
