Western Union Allows You to Carry out International Operations and Exchange Dollars Through WhatsApp

• Customers can send money to more than 200 countries and territories and exchange dollars directly from WhatsApp.

LIMA, Peru--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Western Union® incorporates WhatsApp Business as a new service channel for its customers in Peru, making it easier to carry out transactions quickly and reliably. Through this tool, users will be able to send money to more than 200 countries and territories, as well as buy or sell dollars, all from the comfort of their cell phone.

For many, WhatsApp is simply a messaging tool. For Western Union Peru, it represents a new way of approaching its customers, providing them with an agile and reliable experience. This initiative allows you to carry out transactions from anywhere, with the peace of mind of being in direct contact with a representative of the company.

The way it works is simple: the customer sends a message to the WhatsApp number [phone], indicates the operation they want to carry out and fills out a form with the needed information. If the customer meets the company's requirements, in just minutes, the service is completed. Plus, for a limited time, you can send money fee-free to multiple Latin American countries such as Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Venezuela, and many more*.

"This proposal expands the range of solutions for our customers in Peru," said Rafael De la Puente, Country Director of Peru at Western Union. "We noticed that many users were already communicating with us through WhatsApp, and we wanted to go a step further, offering them the possibility of managing their operations directly from there," he added.

Western Union continues to evolve with a focus on the needs of its clients. With this new functionality, it reinforces its commitment to connecting people with their families, friends, and communities around the world, simply and securely.
