This was disclosed at a media briefing in Accra which saw Western Union’s president for Africa, Middle East, Asia Pacific, Eastern  Europe and CIS, Jean Claude Farah explaining; “You will see us partnering with many mobile network operators and in the future you will see even more of that happening. You will see maybe a mobile application of Western Union over which on your phone you can be sending money regardless of the operator you are working with.”

The world’s most competitive money transfer firm claims it is also considering moves to partner some mobile network operators in a bid to facilitate the ease of transfer of funds across the globe.

“For us mobile money transfer is a new way of how people would like to receive or send money. And this is certainly a way we will harness and we will leverage as Western Union leaders in the money transfer industry,” Jean Claude Farah indicated.
