yes, but I have looked only at those instances which call themselves "Western Union" (name=WU), while this will have omitted those places that offer western union services as an additional service. *The generic services seem to be:* > * Currency exchange (e.g. Dollars for CN ¥) > * Low Income Lending (e.g. Payday loans, Tax refund anticipation loans, > Auto Title Loans, Generic Unsecured Loan Sharking). > * Check cashing (for people without access to a bank). > * Money Transfer (e.g. Western Union, TransferWise). > * Pawn (borrow money against value of goods left at the store). > > +1 What about places that only buy gold(en objects)? Are they pawns as well? > > *We'd then have the following "top level symbols":* > * bank > * money_services (non-bank money services mostly for low income people) > * bureau_de_change (restricted to only currency exchange for wealthy > travelers) > * pawnshop > not sure if I'd put the pawnshop in this category, because it opens a whole field of similar stuff (e.g. second hand shops of different types). Around here, also post offices offer services similar to banks (i.e. they do have a banking department). Cheers, Martin
