MoneyGram customers in China can initiate an international money transfer either by visiting PSBC’s physical locations or via the bank’s mobile app.

The transactions are currently available in USD, EUR, GBP and AUD. Until February 2018, customers will get a 50% waiver on fee, MoneyGram announced.

MoneyGram regional head of China and Mongolia Andy Liu said: “The addition of cash-to-mobile service on top of MoneyGram’s strong cash-to-cash offering and extensive agent network, positions us well to reach all diverse groups of Chinese customers living in rural and urban areas.

“Our partnership with PSBC enables MoneyGram to offer cash-to-mobile money transfers for the first time in the Chinese market.”
