Western Union started off as an offline money transfer service, however, it is moved its platform to the internet so you can now send and receive money with a few clicks of a mouse or button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Western Union is a good online payment processor that lets you transfer money to family and friends around the world<\/a> or even in your own country and neighborhood. You have the option of using your credit card or debit card or your bank account to transfer the money, and you have the option of sending to a pick up location or directly into the person’s bank account. Western Union offers relatively low rates and a wide variety of countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One draw back is that they do not support transfers to business accounts, only individual. For example, when I tried to send money to my web host company’s bank account, Kualo Hosting, it just wasn’t possible because Western Union only supports sending money to individuals, that is, family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
