Western Union money services give you the freedom to send and receive money in the method that works best for you. You can receive cash at an agent location or have it sent directly to your debit card if you don’t have a bank account or mobile wallet.
You can track a transfer using the Western Union app or the homepage at wu.com. Then provide the sender’s name as well as the MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number). The status of your money transfer will then be updated for you. Check the progress of your money transfer right now.
