Access to 15,000 billers at over 7,800
Walgreens and Duane Reade locations along with Western Union Money
Transfer® transactions
The Western Union Company (NYSE: WU), a leader in global payment
services, and Walgreens, the nation’s largest drugstore chain, this
month launched Western Union® Bill Payment services staged via
digital self-service kiosks, allowing customers to make payments to
15,000 billers across the United States and beyond.
Customers can access Western Union services via Walgreens
self-service kiosks where they can pay bills and also use existing
Western Union international and domestic money transfer services.
The kiosks are located in more than 7,800 Walgreens and Duane Reade
locations in the United States, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin
Islands and are the same kiosks where photo and BalanceTM Financial
services are offered.
Customers also have access to Western Union’s customer rewards
program—“My WU®”—and can expect an enhanced kiosk experience with
fast and easy transactions.
“Western Union’s cross border money transfer and bill payment
platform allows customers sending money from Walgreens true
international connectivity to more than 200 countries and
territories as well as domestic money transfers and bill payments,”
said Odilon Almeida, President of Western Union, Americas and
European Union.
“The expansion of Western Union services at over 7,800 Walgreens
and Duane Reade locations across the nation will provide great
convenience to consumers, by allowing them to not only transfer
money, but also pay bills while running daily errands,” said Carter
Hunt, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Western Union
U.S.
“Enhanced features to Walgreen’s self-service kiosks will also
mean customers can now enjoy greater convenience and quicker
transactions along with the ‘My WU®’ rewards program,” he said.
“Offering a fuller menu of financial services supports our drive
to provide customers with ultimate convenience,” said Jay
Bernstein, Walgreens manager of financial services. “With Western
Union’s expanded offerings, customers can now visit our store to
quickly pay an eligible utility bill or more easily transfer funds
to a college student out-of-state or a relative overseas.”
Western Union service offerings via Walgreens allow customers to
independently stage their transactions, and fund money transfers
and bill payments via cash or pin-based debit, initiated at the
self-service kiosk using a photo touchscreen and finalized at the
register. The services are available at Walgreens stores between 8
a.m. and 10 p.m. local time.
Western Union’s cross-border platform is a rare combination of a
physical and digital network servicing 16,000 corridors across 200
countries and territories. Across its brands the company has over
500,000 retail agent locations around the world and over 100,000
ATMs and kiosks, and including the capability to send money to
