  1. ABOUT US

1.1. The Western Union® Online Service is offered in the United Kingdom by Western Union Payment Services GB Limited (“WUPSGL”). WUPSGL is a UK company (number: 11326797) with registered “offices at The Metro Building, 1 Butterwick, Hammersmith, London, W6 8DL”.

1.2. Customers may obtain information about the addresses and hours of operation of Our agents and local representatives by calling this telephone number: 0808 234 9168 (for UK residents only) or +32-(0)2 639 7103 (for calling outside UK). WUPSGL can also be contacted by email sent to uk.customer@westernunion.co.uk

1.3. WUPSGL is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

  1. OUR SERVICES

2.1. Western Union® Online Service offers money transfer services nationally and internationally. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Western Union® Online Service and You must have Your habitual residence in the United Kingdom. Each money transfer is given an individual transaction number, the Money Transfer Control Number or “MTCN“.

2.2. By completing and consenting to the information required to make a money transfer and by accepting these Terms and Conditions, the Sender instructs WUPSGL to execute a specific money transfer. Every individual money order constitutes a separate agreement between WUPSGL and the Sender which is limited to the execution of a specific money transfer. At no moment in time is a framework agreement concluded between You and Us which obligates Us to execute individual and subsequent money transfers. The Sender shall inform the Receiver of the money transfer accordingly.

2.3. Subject to statutory or regulatory requirements, We undertake to make funds available for collection by the Receiver at the latest at the end of the Business Day following the Business Day on which the funds were received (“Day of Receipt”) in the following cases:

  1. for any payment made in sterling to a Receiver in the UK;
  2. for any payment made in euro to a Receiver in the UK or the EEA;
  3. for any payment involving a single currency conversion, but only if the conversion is between sterling and euro and the payment is made in sterling or euro to a Receiver in the UK or in euro to a Receiver in the EEA.

2.4. In other cases, We undertake to make funds available for collection by the Receiver at the latest at the end of the fourth Business Day after the Day of Receipt.

2.5. The time of receipt is the time when We receive the funds to be transferred and the fees associated with said transfer.

2.6. For regular money transfers the funds are normally available for collection within a few minutes, subject to the business hours of the respective agent location. For some countries, the service may be delayed or other restrictions may apply. If You require further information, please contact the telephone number stated in Item 1.2 of these Terms and Conditions.

2.7. The Western Union® Online Service provides various options for the Receiver to receive funds including cash at an agent location, direct to a bank account or to a mobile phone, where available. Where funds are to be paid out in cash the Receiver must provide adequate proof of his or her identity in addition to all transaction details required by Western Union pertaining to the money transfer, in particular the name of the Sender, the country from which the money was sent, the name of the Receiver, the approximate amount of money transferred and any and all other conditions and requirements that are mandatory at the Western Union agent location for the funds to be paid out, such as the MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number). The payment of funds to be collected will be made to the Receiver that Western Union or its agent deems entitled to receive the money following verification of the identification documents. Payments may be effected if the transaction information provided by the Receiver contains minor mistakes (but Western Union and its agents have no obligation to effect any payment in such circumstances). Neither Western Union nor its agents will verify the address details of the Receiver. At certain payment locations the Receiver may be asked to provide proof of his or her identity or answer a test question or both in order to receive the funds. Test questions do not constitute an additional security feature and cannot be used to time or delay the payment of a money transfer and are prohibited in certain countries. For transactions to a bank account or to a mobile phone Western Union will transfer the funds to the account identified by the Sender. In the event of an inconsistency between the holder of the account number (including mobile phone numbers for mobile phone accounts) and the name of the intended Receiver, the transfer will be credited to the account number provided by the Sender.

2.8. Applicable law prohibits money transmitters from doing business with certain individuals or countries; Western Union is required to screen all Transactions against lists of designated persons subject to sanctions imposed by the governments of the countries and territories in which We do business, including the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the European Union and the UK. If a potential match is identified, Western Union researches the Transaction to determine if the name matched is indeed the individual on the relevant list. For this purpose, Western Union is entitled to request from the Sender or the Receiver additional details and proof of identification which may cause the Transaction to be delayed. This is a legal requirement for all Transactions processed by Western Union.

2.9. Transfer Fees: Written information explaining how Western Union charges the Sender for making a money transfer is available on the Western Union Website and is shown to the Sender prior to completion of the payment order. The specific transfer fees for a Transaction are indicated in the “Send Money Online” field at www.westernunion.com/gb. Simply select Your destination country, enter the amount to be transferred and click on “Calculate”. The Sender shall bear all fees due to complete the money transfer unless applicable law in the destination country requires otherwise. In certain cases money transfer payments may be subject to local taxes and service charges. The Receiver may incur additional fees for receiving the Sender’s funds through an account-based money transfer, a mobile telephone or to a bank account. Money transfers should be sent to a local (Receiver’s) currency account, otherwise the receiving institution (where the Receiver has his or her account) may convert the funds at its own exchange rate or may even reject the money transfer. The Receiver’s agreement with his or her mobile phone service provider, mWallet account provider or other account provider governs the account and determines their rights, obligations, applicable fees, funds availability and account limitations. Western Union may charge additional fees associated with the use of an account for sending or receiving a money transfer. Western Union does not assume any liability pertaining to costs which the Sender or any account holder incur in conjunction with the exchange rate used for the conversion into non-local currencies or for actions or omissions on behalf of the destination or interim financial services provider.

2.10. Foreign exchange

  1. Money transfer payments will normally be made in the currency of the destination country (in some countries payment is available only in an alternative currency). All currency is converted at Western Union’s then current rate of exchange. Western Union calculates its rate of exchange based on commercially available interbank rates plus a margin. Most exchange rates are adjusted several times daily in line with the relevant closing rates of global financial markets. The exchange rate for a money transfer is indicated to You at www.westernunion.com/gb after selecting the destination country in the “Send Money Online” field, entering the amount that You intend to transfer and clicking on “Calculate”.
  2. The currency will be converted at the time of the transfer and the Receiver will receive the foreign currency amount shown during the transfer process. However, in some countries local regulations require money transfers to be converted only when they are paid out. If the Sender is sending the funds to one of these countries, the exchange rate noted above is only an estimate, and the actual exchange rate will be determined at the time of payment. Western Union agents may offer Receivers the choice to receive funds in a currency different from the one the Sender selected. In such instances, Western Union (or its agents, the mobile phone provider, or account provider) may collect additional money when they convert the Sender’s funds into the currency selected by the Receiver. If the Sender chooses a payment currency different from the national currency of the destination country, the payment currency chosen may not be available at all payment locations in that country, or may not be available in small enough denominations to pay all of the money transfer. In such cases, the paying agent may pay all or part of the Sender’s money transfer in national currency. Western Union’s exchange rate may be less favourable than some publicly reported commercial exchange rates used in transactions between banks or other financial institutions. Any difference between the currency exchange rate offered to customers and the currency exchange rate received by Western Union will be kept by Western Union (and, in some instances, its agents, mobile phone provider, or account provider) in addition to the transfer fees. Additional information about exchange rates for specific destination countries can be obtained by calling the toll-free telephone number listed above or from Our Website.

2.11. SMS – Western Union may offer free SMS notification in some countries to indicate (to the Sender) that the transferred funds have been collected by the Receiver or (to the Receiver) that funds are available for collection. Charges applied by the telephone service provider are the exclusive responsibility of the Sender or Receiver. Western Union is not responsible for any charges associated with SMS messages. If permitted by applicable law, the SMS will be sent to the Sender’s and/or the Receiver’s mobile number provided at the time of the Transaction. Western Union will send SMS messages to a gateway for forwarding, however forwarding is the responsibility of third parties, and cannot be guaranteed. Western Union is not responsible for technical malfunctions that occur outside of its proprietary systems.

8.4. Your liability for losses arising from an unauthorised Transaction shall not be limited to a maximum amount of GBP 50 as set out in Item 8.2 if You acted with fraudulent intent or contributed to the misuse of Transaction data intentionally or through grossly negligent conduct.

If you have provided us with incorrect details for executing the Transaction, You may ask Us to assist You in recovering the money. We cannot guarantee such efforts will be successful. We reserve the right to charge You a fee to cover Our reasonable costs for doing this.

8.10. We will have no liability to You if the unauthorised or incorrectly executed transaction is carried out by a third party or between third parties You have instructed before We receive Your payment for the transfer or any other Transaction. You should contact the relevant third party promptly and inform them of the circumstances of the unauthorised or incorrectly executed transaction.

8.11. We will have no liability to You for damage that is due to any unusual and unforeseeable events over which Western Union has no control and whose consequences, in spite of exercising due care, Western Union could not have avoided (caused, for example by Events Outside Our Control, failure of telecommunication lines, civil unrest, war or other events such as industrial action or lockouts over which We have no control). This applies equally to cases in which Western Union is bound by any legislative, judicial or administrative order to take or refrain from taking any action.

8.12. We do not exclude or limit in any way Our liability to You where it would be unlawful to do so.

11.2. Any Refund to You will consist of the amount of the money transfer at the Western Union exchange rate valid at the moment of the refund, however at least at the nominal value of the transfer amount insofar as the funds have not been paid out to the Receiver within 45 days. In this case the transfer fees will not be refunded. If We do not make the funds available for collection by the Receiver within three Business Days from when You initiate a money transfer with Us and provide all the relevant information necessary for Us to give effect to the transfer, We will refund in the event of Your justified notice of rescission the amount of the money transfer plus all transfer fees paid (subject to statutory or regulatory restrictions).
