Important Information for Participants in the My WU Programme

This My WU® Programme Agreement (“Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions governing the My WU Programme (“Programme”). The terms “Western Union” “we” “us” and “our” used in this Agreement mean Western Union Payment Services Ireland Limited, an Irish registered company with number 471360, based at Richview Office Park, Unit 9, Clonskeagh, Dublin 14, Ireland. “You” and “your” means the person to whom a My WU Number is issued pursuant to this Agreement (“Number”).

  1. This is your Contract with us. You should read this Agreement and keep it for your records. By enrolling, using the Number or by otherwise participating in the Programme, you agree to the terms of this Agreement. Your Number is required to perform any Programme transactions. Your Number remains the property of Western Union and must be returned to us immediately upon our request in case of abuse, cancellation of the Agreement or ending of the Programme. To benefit from all its advantages, your Number can only be used by you. Its use is subject to the terms of the Agreement. This Number is personal and cannot be shared.
  2. Description of the Programme. You may enroll in the My WU Programme without receiving a financial product or service from Western Union or its affiliates. Enrollment in the Programme provides you with the following benefits:
    • Convenience: The Programme allows you to request completion of a qualifying Western Union® transaction (“Qualifying Transaction”) more conveniently. The Programme allows information about you to be available automatically whenever you present your Number when conducting a Qualifying Transaction. Qualifying Transactions are subject to applicable product- or service-specific terms and conditions, which may vary from time to time. In order to use the Number and participate in the Programme, you must fulfill all requirements pursuant to law.
    • Rewards: The Programme may enable you to earn points or other rewards or benefits (“Points”) for each Qualifying Transaction you complete using your Number. A description of Qualifying Transactions and the Points, if any, you earn for each Qualifying Transaction can be found in the Programme materials. Qualifying Transactions and the Points earned are subject to change at Western Union’s sole discretion. Effective as of 18-09-2023 you may no longer earn Points for each Qualifying Transaction. The current amount of Points on your Number is available on request by contacting the My WU Programme as set forth below under Section 10.
  3. Participation in the Programme. The Programme is open to private individuals who are 18 years and older and have a main residence at a valid address in your country. Only one enrollment per person will be accepted. We may, in our discretion, refuse to accept your enrollment if you do not satisfy our enrollment criteria.
  4. Obtaining Points for Transactions without Your Number. If you carried out a Qualifying Transaction prior to 18-09-2023 but did not use your Number, you may still acquire Points by contacting us at the number provided in Section 10 below. We reserve the right not to issue Points if we cannot verify the transaction.
  5. Redeeming your Points. Once you accumulate the requisite Points for the available rewards, you may redeem your Points contacting us at the number provided in Section 10 below. The rewards and required Points to redeem such rewards can be found by logging onto www.wu.com/mywu/uk and both are subject to change at Western Union’s sole discretion. Points are neither negotiable nor redeemable for cash.
  6. Rewards and Benefits. Western Union may from time to time require you to verify certain information about yourself (for example, e-mail address or mobile phone number) before you can earn, receive and/or redeem Programme rewards and benefits. All rewards and benefits offered are subject to change and availability or cancellation.
  7. Important Information about your Points. Points expire one year from date of the Qualifying Transaction. Any Points earned on your Number will be forfeited when your Number or your participation in the Programme is suspended, terminated, cancelled, closed, revoked, found to be fraudulent or declared void under law. Points are not considered earned until actually redeemed by you and have no cash value and will not earn interest and are not insured against loss. Points can not be purchased, sold, combined or transferred in any way. Maintaining the Number and the Points are your sole responsibility. Rewards will not be replaced if lost or stolen nor will Points used to redeem such Rewards be reaccredited.
