The self-service kiosks will be strategically placed in shopping malls, supermarkets, residential areas, banks, hospitals, government facilities, gas stations, staff accommodations and other locations across all seven emirates in the country.
In addition to Western Union money transfers, the self-service kiosks allow users to process different types of payment-based transactions, such as utility bill payments or Etisalat, Du or Salik top-ups.
"Western Union is the only cash to cash remittance service offered on these kiosks, and the customer will enjoy a complete Western Union look and feel on every screen till the Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) is generated," said by the company in a statement.
Jean Claude Farah, president, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe & CIS, Western Union, said: "Going live with the kiosk project allows us to get closer to our customers in the UAE who can now send money conveniently from a location close to their home or workplace.
