Western Union is a global brand with physical locations and cash pickup hubs in more than 200 countries, but its high fees and weak exchange rates may be driving you to seek out alternative options. Finding better exchange rates may be what brought you here, but these competitors have even more to offer than that.
We’ve listed out some of the more popular alternatives and highlighted what features they have that Western Union doesn’t.
