Western Union Money Transfers Now Delivered Home in Jordan

Agent Home Delivery Service Enables Money Transfer Services During COVID-19 Movement Restrictions

AMMAN, Jordan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Western Union, a leader in cross-border, cross-currency money movement and payments, today announced that select Agents in Jordan will provide home delivery service for Western Union money transfers across the nation.

Our Agent’s Home delivery service will enable customers in Jordan to receive cash from their loved ones, without leaving their homes. As the government implements COVID-19 curfews and restrictions on movement to ensure safety of residents, select Western Union Agents will deliver money to receivers at their homes.

“Western Union takes seriously the critical role we and our Agents play in getting money to places where and when it is most needed,” said Jean Claude Farah, President, Global Network, Western Union. “We are working with Agents, Governments, Customers and Employees to enable global money movement and help ease the economic impact of COVID-19.”

“The launch of this new Agent service - delivering money to customers’ home - will ensure that the public has access to cash, thereby providing essential financial services to a broad range of customers, including those who do not hold bank accounts,” added Farah.
