How do I know if my online transfer's been approved?
You can only make minor typographical corrections to the receiver's name on a regular money transfer as long as the money hasn't yet been picked up. This can't be done on a money order, bill payment, or prepaid money transfer.
You can send money online to a Western Union location for cash pickup, directly to your receiver's bank account, or to your receiver's mobile phone. After you've chosen your destination country, you'll see the types of services available.

Verified by Visa® and MasterCard SecureCode® help prevent unauthorized online use of cards. These services use personal passwords or identity information and are available for most cards from participating financial institutions.
Once your card is activated, your card number will be recognized whenever it's used at participating online stores. A window will automatically appear, and your card issuer will ask for your password. You'll enter your password to verify your identity and complete your purchase.
If you haven't activated Verified by Visa® or MasterCard SecureCode,® your card can still be used on our site.
Your online receipt will show whether your transfer was approved. If we need more information before we can complete it, you'll be asked to call us. When the transfer's complete, you'll get an email with your tracking number (MTCN).
