Western Union provides consumers and businesses with fast, reliable and convenient ways to send and receive money around the world.
The Western Union Company is an American financial services and communications company. Its headquarters is in Meridian, Colorado, although the postal designation of nearby Englewood is used in its mailing address. Up until it discontinued the service in 2006, Western Union was the best-known U.S. company in the business of exchanging telegrams.
Western Union has several divisions, with products such as person-to-person money transfer, money orders, business payments, and commercial services. They offered standard “Cablegrams”, as well as Candygrams, Dollygrams, and Melodygrams.
