Looking for a simple way to send money with Western Union? Whether you need Western Union online to a bank, cash pickup, or a mobile wallet, here’s how to transfer quickly, track with MTCN, and stay legit from start to finish.

Why people choose Western Union

• Speed when it matters: Transfers to cash pickup points can arrive fast (corridor-dependent).

• Global reach: Send to major countries with bank deposit, wallet, or cash pickup options.

• Flexible funding: Use card, bank transfer, or pay in person at an agent (availability varies).

• Real-time tracking: Follow your transfer with the MTCN until it’s collected.

How to send money (step-by-step)

A) Western Union Online (card/bank)

1. Create/Sign in to your Western Union account.

2. Enter receiver details exactly as on their ID (full legal name, country, city).

3. Choose delivery method: bank deposit, mobile wallet, or cash pickup.

4. Review fees & rate, then pay.

5. Save your MTCN and share it securely with the receiver.

B) Send from an Agent Location

1. Bring government ID and the receiver’s full name/country.

2. Choose cash pickup or bank deposit, pay the amount + fee.

3. Receive your MTCN on the receipt and share it with the receiver.

How the receiver gets the money

• Cash pickup: Receiver brings valid ID + MTCN to a participating location.

• Bank deposit: Funds arrive to the specified account (timing depends on bank/corridor).

• Mobile wallet: Deposit to supported wallets where available.

Tip: Always verify the spelling of the receiver’s name before sending—name mismatches delay pickup.

Tracking with MTCN

The Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) lets you and your receiver track status end-to-end. Keep it private—share only with the intended recipient.

Compliance & safety (use it the legit way)

• Complete ID/verification (KYC) when requested.

• Send only to people you trust; avoid requests from unknown contacts.

• Keep your MTCN confidential; never share payment confirmations publicly.

• If you suspect a scam, cancel/report as soon as possible.
