Hi, I'm just wondering what the process of sending a western union payment overseas is? I read once you submit payment, they need you to call them? I presume from the phone number of the billing address, but what questions do they ask when you call them? Also when picking up a payment, all you need is photo identification? Thanks.
Depending on what country you are from. In my country we don't have to call WU for confirmation and we are required to present two non expired government issued Id's.
When you receive money, you need an identification like ID card or passport, which shld be the same name as the sender has written... When sending, you jst have to fill out the form...you get option whether you want to ask question to the opposite person or not....and they will charge you per how much amount you sending...
I think you are reffering to the service WU has in some countries, wereas they call the receiver of the funds to announce him/her to come and pick up the funds.
Just go to their website, select your country and you will find all the information you need both for sending or receiving money. If you're sending the money online then yes you have to call in and confirm your identity. Usually it only takes a minute or so.
