UK physical Agent network grows with diverse
retailers
The Western Union Company (NYSE: WU), a leader
in global payment services, today announced that following a highly
successful six month pilot, it is formally launching Western Union®
cross-border money transfer services with retailer and financial
services provider John Lewis.
Western Union continues to grow its retail Agent network in the
UK by collaborating with diverse retailers from upmarket department
stores to specialty and convenience stores, to enhance convenience
and offer cross-border money transfer services to the broadest
group of consumers.
Western Union money transfer services have been rolled out
across 31 Bureaux de change in John Lewis stores across the UK,
including London, Birmingham and Edinburgh.
Giovanni Angelini, Senior Vice President and General Manager
European Union at Western Union, said, “Facilitating choice and
convenience for customers is our number one priority. Collaborating
with a reputable retail brand such as John Lewis allows us to serve
consumers looking for an accessible, fast and reliable
service.”
“Our experience tells us that consumers wishing to send
cross-border money transfers are interested in a range of options
to send money, whether it is cash across retail establishments, via
their bank accounts or ATMs, via digital access through their
phone, tablet or their social network. Receivers are also looking
for just as many ways to receive money.”
Western Union is advancing its capability to fund money
transfers by offering customers in select countries the choice of
various methods for funding transactions, including online, via
mobile, at ATM and kiosk locations or at a Western Union retail
Agent location.
Conversely, Western Union is advancing its capability on the
receive side by offering customers in select countries the
opportunity to collect money in cash, into a mobile wallet, onto a
card, and directly into billions of bank accounts worldwide.
Massimiliano Alvisini, Regional Vice President, Northern Europe
and Iberia at Western Union, commented, “John Lewis is a much-loved
brand on the British High Street, renowned for its forward-thinking
approach and first-class customer service. We are pleased to team
up with this company to bring Western Union services to their
customer base.”
Dino Marcangelo, Senior Manager for New Business Development at
John Lewis Finance, said, “John Lewis Foreign Currency is delighted
to be cooperating with Western Union to offer customers money
transfer services. This step marks our ambition to continue to
broaden our growing financial services business and we are pleased
that the roll out of Western Union services to our Bureau de change
at 31 of our department stores have proven to be a big hit with
customers.”
