How does Western Union work?

Why is my Western Union promo code not working?

There are several reasons this could be happening. To troubleshoot, consider the following:

  • Does your code meet the terms and conditions? You might have to send a certain amount through Western Union, or it may only be applicable for some currencies.
  • Is your code correctly entered into the field? Sounds simple, but sometimes copy and paste gets the better of all of us. Western Union codes might be case-sensitive, so bear this in mind.
  • Are there any restrictions on the code? There may be a certain time frame you have to use it within, or it may be restricted to a certain country that Western Union services..
  • Have you used the code already? The code might only be for one-time use.

How can I save money when using Western Union without a promo code?

The Western Union membership program offers rewards, which may help you save money over time or after sending a few large transfers. To learn more about Western Union before signing up, read our Western Union review to learn about fees, exchange rates, the reward program and more.

What forms of payment does Western Union accept?

You can pay for your Western Union money transfer using the following methods:

  • Cash in person. Pay cash at a Western Union agent to send money in person.
  • Credit or debit card. Enter your card details to make an online payment when you opt to send money from the Western Union website. You can also make a card payment at a Western Union agent.
  • Bank transfer. Link your checking account to your Western Union online profile and send money directly from your bank.

      Hi Maryam,

      Thanks for your inquiry.

      Unfortunately, Western Union isn’t offering any deals right now.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,

      Hi Tea,

      Thanks for getting in touch with finder. I hope all is well with you. :)

      If you have followed carefully the instruction of redeeming your promo code and it didn’t work, you might want to directly get in touch with Western Union and verify your transaction.

      I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.

      Have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Joshua
