International and domestic Western Union Money Transfer®
transactions are available for payout at up to 2701 out of 1,000
locations of WorldBridge Payment Institution (Paylink®) across
Greece, with customers allowed to receive cash in amounts not
subject to Greek capital controls.
Western Union is working on expanding its in-bound payout Agent
locations to include the entire network of over 1,800 locations
represented by Agents WorldBridge Payment Institution (Paylink®)
and ELTA - Hellenic Post, Greece’s Postal Authority.
“To reinstate money transfer services for our customers is a
great triumph, as we know the need to move money into Greece has
never been more relevant than it is today. Our experience across
the globe shows that during any type of crises – economic or
otherwise – families and friends living abroad come together to
support their loved ones in need,” said Giovanni Angelini,
Senior Vice President and General Manager for Europe at Western
Union.
“We are pleased to reinstate this important lifeline for
customers in Greece who urgently depend upon the generosity and
kindness of their family and friends across the world to send them
funds to pay for regular expenses, including everyday living
expenses, health care and education,” he said.
The activation of Western Union international and domestic
transfers follows a new law issued by the Greek government,
allowing money transfer operators to resume intra as well as
in-bound transactions under special conditions.
Western Union also recently activated in-bound transfers
directly into Greek bank accounts from family or loved ones from 30
countries across North America, Europe, CIS and Asia Pacific.

physical and fast-growing digital network in 200 countries and
