Geography
With 300,000 agent locations in over 200 countries and
territories, The Western Union Company may be among
the most global companies in the world. In the United
States, we are in 8 of the 10 largest grocery chains, and
we are in banks and post offices throughout the world.
We are in the places that allow us to become an integral
part of the fabric of local communities everywhere.
In 2006, we drove our strategies to facilitate an even
greater global focus. Consider that 85% of our total C2C
transactions touch a point outside of the United States,
and 50% of our C2C revenue never touches a U.S. agent.
Working with our worldwide agents and their employees,
we are now committing more and more resources toward
countries and geographic locations that hold enormous
potential. China. India. The Philippines. And the Middle
East, just to name a few.
There has never been a greater demand for our ser-
vices. Hundreds of millions of people are currently living
outside of their home countries and using Western Union
®
services to remain connected to their families and home-
lands. We see this as an enormous opportunity and we
are committed to bringing our service to every corner of
the world.
