Send money for Christmas and the holiday season
Christmas and the holiday season are the perfect times to connect with loved ones and show them how much you care. But for those who have family and friends living overseas, gift-giving can be a confusing and expensive undertaking. Navigating the legal details of international postal systems, understanding potential taxation issues and paying for postage can take the joy out of sending gifts abroad. And sending cash via the mail isn’t much better. Envelopes can open, money can get lost in transit and you can be left wondering what happened to your gift.
So what’s the best way to send money internationally? Money transfers. They allow you to quickly and reliably send cash to friends and family overseas — and keep the holiday spirit alive in the process.

Save time with Western Union’s services
Time is always a precious commodity during the holidays. Between shopping for gifts, cooking holiday meals and prepping the house for get-togethers, you have a lot on your plate. By sending money to friends and family via money transfer services, you can avoid the potential pitfalls of sending physical gifts or enveloped cash, saving you time and energy and allowing you to track your transfers to ensure timely delivery.
A money transfer also ensures that your family member receives their gift exactly on time — your gift will never arrive late, instead; they can receive their gift in the form of a direct bank account transfer, or they can pick up cash at a money transfer location near them.
The peace of mind gained when sending money through money transfer is a large reason why Western Union is popular in the United States and across the globe. Western Union is available in over 200 countries and territories worldwide, providing fast and reliable services abroad.
