More than 2 billion people have no access to basic banking services*. This limits individual and community development. And, it limits access to help in times of crisis.
We've partnered with the Clinton Global Initiative to address a serious challenge for NGOs: getting money where it's needed most, when it's needed most. Since 2013 NGOs have sent $2.3 billion USD using our custom-tailored NGO services.
Use the world's largest network for fund distribution with services and pricing tailor-made for NGOs.
Know where your funds are at all times, even as they make their way to remote regions.
Your money takes a more direct route. It passes through fewer intermediaries, reducing your costs.
No software to install. Nothing to integrate. It's simple to get started.
Quickly distribute cash to over 200 countries and territories right from your computer. Make wire payments in 130 currencies.
Reduce your foreign exchange costs by planning ahead and pre-purchasing foreign currencies.
By securing a foreign exchange rate on foreign currencies.
Respond to crisis faster than ever before, even when you're sending funds to regions without banks.
Talk to an NGO specialist to discuss your global money transfer needs.
In 2012 Western Union made a commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative to help NGOs easily send funds where they are most needed, including the world's most challenging and remote regions. We created a specialized offering to give these organizations access to the world's largest financial network. Since 2013, we've helped NGOs of all sizes distribute more than $2.3 billion dollars in aid. These organizations include Oxfam, Amnesty International, Aid Still Required and International Medical Corps.
