Yes, "Western Union" is an excellent method for payment - and a lot of our
customers (especially those in the United States) prefer to use it, rather
than sending a cheque by Airmail or paying by International Bank Transfer.
>From a customer's point of view - it is fast, secure, and also allows them
to pay by Credit Card. For small amounts, the "W.U." fee is normally $15.
For the recipients - it would allow them to collect a payment in their own
currency, from any local "W.U" office (this is typically a Travel Agency).
As some customers prefer to pay via Credit Card, payments can be collected
in cases where the recipients cannot accept CC payments in the normal way.
At the time of payment, each transaction will be allocated a 10-digit MTCN
(Money Transfer Control Number) - and to collect this money, the recipient
has to quote the MTCN, with details of the sender, plus proof of identity.
Our business has collected "Western Union" payments from our customers for
several years, and I can certainly recommend using this very secure method
for international payments ("W.U." offices are located in most countries).
I hope the above is helpful - you should be able to find a "Western Union"
telephone number listed in your local telephone directory (it is usually a
Freephone number), and they could give you details of your nearest Agency.
