How To Send Money With Western Union 2024 | Step-By-Step Transfer Guide

[@TheBerkeleybob]

Excellent video! Very concise and detailed explanation that far surpassed the ( do not mean to be mean) (un) useful idiot I got in the WU chat session. My god! Had a simple question or 2 and felt like banging my head against the wall. Your video explained it quite well, so thank you. I simply want to be able to send $$ to myself from my bank in the US so that I may pick up my own money while in another country, and this went completely over the head of the agent! What I DID learn from the agent is that if I send $1,000, I MUST pick up ALL of the $1,000. In other words, the money does not reside in an "account" from which I may pull at my discretion. Seems alien but I guess it is what it is. If I send $300, I must pick up exactly $300 - -no more, no less. Seems weird but apparently how it works! Tank you for a superb video, mate!

[@franceskpepushaj5715]

How you can change the currency that you are sending? For example in the video you can sent only British pounds , how do you change it to euros ?

[@Monitodotcom]

That will default to your country of origin, for me being from the UK I have GBP. Where are you based? ^J

[@ppg19782]

What if your driving license shows the old addresses where I used to live and you are putting your personal information where you live now... There it will be a problem since your driving license shows a different address? Appreciate your input 👌 Much blessings Ty

[@Monitodotcom]

Yeah that's likely to effect ID verification because they'll want to match your personal info with your drivers license. If you update your drivers license address you'd likely get a new one in a couple of weeks. Issue is, can you wait that long? If not do you have any other form of ID? ^Jonny

Do you know if they are matching the id you submit to the id number in your bank account ? Or are they just keeping the id for their records ?

[@Monitodotcom]

That's a good question, I believe it just needs to match with the details you have on your Western Union account, so your name address etc. Bank ID should be fine. ^Jonny

Hello, if you transfer money to yourself in Argentina using western union and pick up at the store. Is it possible to withdraw USD currency not in peso or you can only withdraw in peso?

[@Monitodotcom]

No, WU will only allow you to send ARS so you'll have to collect it in pesos. You might be able to exchange it for USD at the Western Union agent location when you collect, although I wouldn't trust the FX rate to be very good. Where are you based? I might be able to suggest another way. ^Jonny

Is it possible to send money from USA/UK to a Sri Lankan bank account via western union? Please let me know, many thanks!

[@Monitodotcom]

I checked our comparison engine (www.monito.com) and Western Union isn't on the list for US to Sri Lanka, but it is for the UK. This search was just for1000 USD www.monito.com/en/compare/transfer/gb/lk/gbp/lkr/1000 - and also they look like one of the best providers for that amount of money. But this may be different depending on how much you want to send. Jonny

[@mortensholm9016]

Thanks for a very useful video. Is this a good option if you go on vacation in eg. Oman or some other country, where you dont know the bank system? I think that you can transfer to yourself. Is the rate better than changing cash og drawing cash form ATM machines at the destination? Can you call back a transfer, if you wish to cancel?

[@StacyPowell-e3x]

You have to cancel the transaction it won’t let you pick up the money. It’s a scam so that they can refund your money except for the transfer fees. You will lose whatever you pay in transfer fees every time!! Just read about my experience in the comments 😢

[@Monitodotcom]

You're welcome! Glad you found it useful. You could transfer to yourself and collect the cash, and it could be cheaper than withdrawing from an ATM but that'll depend on the card and provider you use to withdraw the money. Which country are you from? ^Jonny

No that shouldn't be necessary. I recommend contacting Western Union about this. ^Jonny

[@pejnovicodeca4254]

​ @Monitodotcom Thank you for your response. I looked everywhere and nowhere does it say that the person who sending the money needs recipient passport, especially not a scanned copy in color. It is only necessary that the data from my ID match the information and address he provided when sending.

Excellent video mate; I've given up with PP, I've been chasing my tail for over a week, it won't let me top up from my local debit account- I'm an old duffer so I've had smart young realatives helping out and they are baffled too. I'm in the Philippines and 4 hours from my bank branch and I'm trying to send regular small payments to my UK Halifax current account to pay my Capital One credit card. I'm unable to make international transfers using local online banking, or credit card to credit card - I think it's a Philippines thing. So I'd like to give WU online a shot - the local WU office say thay can't transfer to a foreign account. Assuming I set up a WU account will the system allow me to send money to a UK account in my own name?

[@Monitodotcom]

Hey! Difficult to know why, I've personally never sent money to Egypt, are you sending it from the UK? ^Jonny

[@StacyPowell-e3x]

I’m sending it from USA. I’ve sent the transfer 2 different times entering every detail possible! They wouldn’t let my recipient pick up the money either time. He showed them his passport and everything matched but they asked him to see my identity so I sent him a photo of my drivers license and they still wouldn’t let him pick up the money. So in result I had to cancel both transactions and they sent a refund to my account but only for the amount that I sent. So I lost the transfer fees. It cost me $6 two different times to actually accomplish nothing. The second time I was actually at an agency and the agent helped me do everything from my phone through the app and told me everything was correct and he could pick up the money without any problems. So I recommend no one use this app ever! Unless you want to get charged transfer fees for them doing absolutely nothing!!

[@Monitodotcom]

To confirm, the Western Union agent asked to see your ID? Do you know the address of this agent as that's not necessary. According to Western Union's own website (wucare.westernunion.com/s/article/What-do-I-need-to-pick-up-my-money-transfer?language=en_US) they only need to provide your full name and possibly your country and state. What reason did they give for refusing to let him pick the money up? ^Jonny
