Pros

estern Union’s key strength is in-person money transfers to other countries, which allows you to pay cash at an agent location and have it delivered for pickup, especially in areas where no other provider is available. Its services aren’t the cheapest or fastest for all occasions or countries compared with those of other nonbank money transfer providers. Costs and delivery speeds vary by funding method, delivery option and other factors, so more choices mean more decisions.

Cons

Fastest domestic transfers (either cash-only transfers or ones paid via credit or debit card) that typically are more expensive than those offered by competitors. Online-only money transfer providers can offer lower costs for comparable transactions that require bank accounts.
