Business
The Western Union Company (WU; W3U.DE) provides global money movement and payment services, primarily through its Consumer Money Transfer segment offering cross-border and domestic transfers via retail agents, websites, mobile apps, and owned locations; its Consumer Services segment provides bill payments, money orders, media network services, retail foreign exchange, prepaid cards, lending partnerships, and digital wallets; and its Business Solutions segment facilitates payments for businesses including mass payouts and cross-border transactions. Founded in 1851 as the New York and Mississippi Valley Printing Telegraph Company and renamed Western Union Telegraph Company in 1856, the company is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, and operates an interconnected network spanning over 150 countries with approximately 9,100 employees serving individuals, migrant workers, unbanked consumers, and small-to-medium businesses. In August 2025, Western Union agreed to acquire International Money Express, Inc. (Intermex) for approximately $500 million in cash at $16.00 per share, a transaction approved by both boards and expected to close by mid-2026, aimed at strengthening U.S. retail operations, expanding in Latin America, enhancing agent networks, accelerating digital customer acquisition, and driving growth in the Americas through complementary consumer segments.
