Western Union questions

    I am US based and am thinking about accepting Western Union as a payment method but have not used it before.

    My understanding is that I can get payments deposited into my bank account or I can pick up at a local agent. Would senders need my bank account details?

    Are there any issues with receiving money in the name of a DBA or LLC? Any issues for senders & what documentation would I need to pick it up?

    Its better if you pick it up at local agent, your sender don't need any bank details.
    Your name, country and sendwe will tell you a code, which u would need to tell to WU agent.

    gud luck
