“The fees are outrageous. I pay almost $50 to send $280. Look at my account history if you don’t believe it!
Total rip-off. They even canceled their rewards program so I haven’t been able to earn points in over a year to give any relief for the fees.
Better choices in USA:
- Zelle
- Venmo
- Cash app
- Walmart (Ria)
- MoneyGram
So if you have personal bank accounts, use these options!”
“Fast but pricey and they have definitely gone worse with service. Ive been attempting to call them and cant get through to change my address. I'm done with western union. I'll find other companies to deal with.”
“Is fast, but very expensive and they make a currency exchange absolutely false and disadvantageous! In between the exchange and the transfer cost is way too much expensive”
“Don't even bother, there licensed crimals, agents in sofia untrained and arrogant, I had to go to at least four places to get my own money, while the taxi man held my passport. not for the faint hearted”
“I live in London and wanted to send money to friends in the USA. I asked Western Union how long it would take for money to be transferred from my bank account to my friend’s US bank account. They told me 2 or 2 days. It more than a week; every time I telephoned Western Union I was given a different excuse, ie “it's already there” “it will be there tomorrow (this several times” “the money is processing” “its the bank’s fault” “it’s the US government’s fault” anything, in fact, but the truth.”
