Why is my Western Union promo code not working?

I wish to send money to a friend in the USA. How do they get the cash?
Hi Lee,
Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. :)
You can send money to a friend in the US using Western Union. How they receive the money would depend on you. You can send the money and let them pick it in one of the Western Union agent locations in the US. Alternatively, you can also directly send the money to their bank account, provided that you know their bank details.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua
