Western Union is expanding its partnership with the UK Post Office to offer retail cross-border money transfers. Customers can send money to family and friends in other countries using Western Union's UK Post Office digital services at one of 4,000 post office locations in the UK, according to a press release.

With this service, customers can have funds paid out in cash, card, mobile wallet or into a bank account.

"I am delighted that Western Union, one of the world's biggest financial networks, and UK Post Office, the UK's biggest retail network, are expanding our collaboration, aiming to serve our customers better in a transformed post-pandemic environment," Devin McGranahan, president and CEO, Western Union, said in the release. "At the same time, today's announcement shows how we at Western Union continue to see our leadership in retail as critical to our success, and as a critical element of our omni-channel offering. As we continue to expand our global network, we will seek not only to improve access, but also, importantly, working with our partners, to truly transform the retail experience we offer our customers, in the UK and across the world."

This service will go live in Autumn 2022.
