WESTERN UNION 2006 Annual Report 14
CONSUMER-TO-CONSUMER
There is an agent location nearly everywhere
—
from
the biggest cities to the most rural of areas. We offer
consumers a variety of ways to send money at 300,000
agent locations, and in many countries, over the phone
or on the Internet. However, over 90% of our transac-
tions are still done in person, where consumers receive
the attention and expertise of an agent.
Western Union is Accessible
Western Union has a 150-year history of connecting people when
it matters most. Our brand is synonymous with speed, trust,
reliability and convenience for millions of consumers in more
than 200 countries and territories around the world. We offer an
easy, safe and convenient means of transferring money.
OTHER
Western Union is a trusted source for money orders,
prepaid cards and other financial services. These
services are distributed directly through our agent
network and allow our consumers to manage
their finances conveniently.
CONSUMER-TO-BUSINESS
Western Union offers several electronic and cash
payment options that allow our consumers to send
fast, convenient bill payments on a one-time or
recurring basis. C2B transactions account for nearly
15% of our total revenue.
