Transfer direct to India, Pakistan and Bangladesh with new Western Union offer
Date issued: July 19th, 2013
Muslims across the UK can benefit this Ramadhan from a new service by Western Union.
The global payment service company has launched a new offer for customers in the UK who can now send money direct into bank accounts in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
It means that UK Muslims looking to send money abroad for Zakah, charity or to friends and family can now go online at www.westernunion.co.uk and send money directly into a bank account in any of these countries.
To launch the new service, Western Union is currently offering a 0% transfer free introductory offer.
The Muslim holy month of Ramadhan traditionally sees an increased activity in money during this period as people send money abroad for charity - a religious obligation - and for families and friends. There are over three million Muslims who reside in the UK according to the latest Census 2011.
Western Union has also launched domestic money transfers as business correspondent to Kotak Mahindra Bank enabling Indians to send money directly into bank accounts in India.
Western Union’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Hikmet Ersek said, “Our goal is to serve our consumers anytime and anywhere. To achieve this, we are pursuing a multi-product, multi-channel strategy to enable consumers to manage their finances the way they want.”
He added: “It is a phenomenal achievement for Western Union consumers to be able to send international money transfers directly into bank accounts in up to 48 countries, now including India.
UK residents can now send money directly by visiting www.westernunion.co.uk .
Additionally, UK consumers who have a non-resident bank account in India can use Western Union to send money into these accounts.
