Western Union global money transfer president Odilon Almeida said: “Our collaboration with Post Bank gives the sender convenient access to send money at their finger-tips and also the flexibility to choose the payout option most convenient to the receiver – paid into bank accounts or received in cash at Western Union retail agent locations.”

To avail the service, customers need to fill and submit a form available at the Post Bank app with the necessary details, following which they will receive a one-time password via SMS.

After entering the one-time password, the user will receive an electronic receipt with the unique money transfer control number (MTCN) to carry out money transfers.

All remittances, made through the Post Bank mobile app, will be automatically converted into the local currency of the recipient.
