In business for two decades, DolEx specializes in money transfers to 35 countries with a focus on Latin America.
The hitch? It doesn’t offer online transactions. But if you live near one of its many US retail or agent locations — more than 2,000 locations combined — that may not be a problem.

Can I receive money at Western Union?
Hi Western Union,
Thank you for reaching out to finder.
If it is a money transfer from DolEx to Western Union that is not allowed. Unless the sender sent the money via Western Union, that is the only time you may receive it in the same money sending company. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
