PART B: GENERAL SERVICE TERMS
I. OUR SERVICES
1. General. Our Services include international and domestic transfer of money and Bill Pay services (where legally permissible and available). Each Transaction is given an individual transaction number, the MTCN.
2. Eligible Users. To use the Services, You must (i) meet the minimum age requirements and (ii) have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements with Us in the Send Country under applicable law. The Receiver must meet the minimum age requirements in the Receiver country.
3. Money Transfer. When You provide the necessary information and documentation and accept these Terms to make a money transfer, You are instructing Us to complete a specific Transaction. Each Transaction is a separate agreement between You and Us, solely for that money transfer. We are not obligated to handle any future money transfers based on this agreement.
4. Accessing Services. Services are provided through the Locations, the Website, Mobile Application or the Telephone Money Transfer service. If You access Services through a mobile device or phone, Your wireless service carrier, or mobile network operator may apply standard charges, data rates, and other fees.
II. FEES AND PAYMENT
1. Transfer Fee. In consideration for the use of Our Services, You agree to pay to Us a fee for each money transfer initiated by You at the applicable rate then in effect (the “Transfer Fee”), plus any applicable taxes imposed. The applicable Transfer Fee for Your Transaction will be provided to You prior to Your final authorization of the Transaction, in addition to any fees for any additional services and any applicable taxes. In certain cases, payment to a Receiver of a money transfer may be subject to local taxes and service charges.
2. Foreign Exchange. IN ADDITION TO THE TRANSFER FEE, WE MAKE MONEY WHEN WE CHANGE YOUR CURRENCY INTO FOREIGN CURRENCY. International money transfers are usually paid out in the currency or currencies allowed by the destination country. If a Transaction requires Your currency to be converted to a different currency, the conversion will be executed at the applicable current rate of exchange as shown or shared with You before Your final authorization of the transfer. The currency will be converted at the time of transfer, and the Receiver will receive the foreign currency amount shown. Consumer exchange rates are set by adding a margin to the interbank rates that are available to Us in the wholesale market. Exchange rates change several times a day based on global financial markets. We retain any difference between the exchange rate We receive and the exchange rate You receive. The applicable Transfer Fee and exchange rate may vary based upon the payment currency selected. For the current currency exchange rates, please visit Our Website or contact Us using the contact information located below.
Some countries’ local laws require currency to be converted at the time of payout to the Receiver. If that is the case, the exchange rate and any amounts shown or shared with You may be subject to exchange rate fluctuations between the time You make the transfer and the time the Receiver collects the funds.
Some countries allow for payouts to Receivers to be made in multiple currencies. If that is the case, You must select the currency of payment at the time of Your Transaction. Some countries allow a Receiver to receive a payout in a currency different than You selected. In such cases, it may be considered a separate transaction, and We may make additional money when Your funds are converted into the currency selected by the Receiver.
3. SMS Notifications and Charges. SMS (Short Message Service) notification may be available to inform You and/or Your Receiver of important details about Your Transaction. Charges applied by a mobile network operator are the exclusive responsibility of the Sender or Receiver. We are not responsible for any charges associated with SMS messages. Subject to applicable law, the SMS will be sent to the Sender’s and/or the Receiver’s mobile number provided at the time of the Transaction.
4. Using An Account. You may be able to send or receive money from or to an account such as a bank account, a Bank Card, a digital wallet, a biller, or another type of account (an “Account”). The Account is provided by a bank or another provider (an “Account Provider”) who may charge You extra fees. You must follow the agreement with the Account Provider when You use an Account. We are not responsible for any fees or problems caused by the Account Provider. If You send or receive money in a different currency than Your Account, the Account Provider may change the currency at their own rate or reject the transfer. We only accept payments and send money to Accounts used for personal, not business, purposes. By providing transaction instructions, You confirm that the associated Accounts are for personal use only. We may use different methods to process transfers to or from an Account. If You give Us the wrong account number or other information for the Account, We will transfer the money to the account number You gave Us. We are not responsible for any mistakes made by the Account Provider or by You. We may charge You extra fees for using an Account; We will tell You the fees before You make a transfer.
By initiating a Transaction from an Account, You (i) affirm You are the owner of the Account and have authority to initiate the Transaction and (ii) authorize Us to initiate electronic debits and/or credits to Your Account or to process and correct errors if a Transaction cannot be completed.
We will not be liable to You if: (1) You do not have enough money available in Your Account; (2) Your Account is closed or withdrawals are restricted; (3) the Transaction exceeds the amount or frequency limitations imposed by Us or Your Account Provider; (4) circumstances beyond Our control occur (such as flood, fire, power outages, mechanical or system failures); (5) Your Account Provider does not honor a Transaction, the Transaction is not processed or the Transaction is returned by Your Account Provider; (6) Your instructions are incomplete, incorrect lost or delayed in transmission to Us; (7) We fail to process Your Transaction because of a reasonable security concern or the Service option has been discontinued or suspended, or We otherwise advise You that Your Transaction will not be processed; and (8) other exceptions allowed by law.
5. Payment Options. You agree that You will pay Us the Transfer Fee and other applicable fees for each Transaction You initiate via Our Services. Payment options vary depending on Your Send Country. You may pay for the Services by using a Bank Card authorized in the Send Country or via other applicable payment methods. You may also pay with cash at the Location or using other available payment options. The total due is payable before We process the Transaction. If You pay with a Bank Card and We do not receive authorization from the Bank Card Issuer (or Your Account Provider, in the case of Automated Clearing House (“ACH”), or cleared funds via payment ID), the Transaction will not be processed, and funds will not be transmitted to the Receiver. Each time You use Your Bank Card or ACH to pay for Services, You agree that We are authorized to charge Your designated Bank Card or applicable Account for the total due (including principal amount, the Transfer Fee, charges relating to exchange rates and any other applicable fees or taxes).
III. TRANSACTION PAY OUTS
1. Payout Methods. We make available various methods for the Receiver to receive funds including but not limited to cash at a Location, direct to a debit card, bank account or to a digital wallet, where available. In some countries the Receiver may have an option to choose a method to receive funds which is different from the method selected by the Sender or an option to change the pay-out currency. The Sender authorizes Us to honor the Receiver’s choice of method to receive funds or the pay-out currency even if it differs from the Sender’s instructions. All payout methods are subject to availability in the Receiver country and Location.
2. Identifying Your Receiver. To establish an individual is Your intended Receiver when they pick up cash at a Location, Your Receiver should be prepared to provide their full name, an identification document, Your name, the MTCN, and the approximate transfer amount. In some countries, You may opt to add a test question. If You do, provide the response to the question to Your Receiver. We may also require the Receiver to provide other information. The Transaction will be paid out to the person We deem entitled to receive it based on the information and documents the Receiver provides. We will not verify the address details of the Receiver. We may pay the Receiver even if the name You provide and the name on Your Receiver’s identification document differ in minor ways (but We have no obligation to pay if the name differs). If We decide the information provided is not sufficient, We will decline to pay out and the transfer will be available to refund to You. For transactions sent to a bank account, or to a digital wallet, We will transfer the funds to the account identified by You. In the event of an inconsistency between the holder of the account number (including mobile phone numbers or other information provided by You to identify the Receiver’s account) and the name of the intended Receiver, the transfer will be credited to the account number provided by You. Please check the accuracy of the numbers You provide because We rely on them.
IV. RESTRICTIONS

Several factors can influence the availability of the Service, including the specific Service selected, any delayed delivery options, special terms applicable to each Service, the amount sent, the destination country, currency availability, regulatory or consumer protection issues, identification requirements, delivery restrictions, Locations hours, and differences in time zones.
2. Prohibited Individuals or Transactions. Pursuant to legal requirements, we are prohibited from doing business with certain individuals or in certain countries and We screen Transactions against a list of designated persons subject to sanctions imposed by various government entities, including the United States, the European Union and the UK.

| Singapore | Western Union Global Network Pte Ltd | New provision for Part A: A person who is not a party to any agreement governed by these Terms has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act, Chapter 53B of Singapore. New provision for Part B, Section I: 5. Safeguarding. Western Union Global Network Pte Ltd is required under the Payment Services Act 2019 (“PSA”) of Singapore to safeguard relevant money (as defined in section 23(14) of the PSA) received from or on the account of its customers. Western Union Global Network Pte Ltd has arranged for the aggregate relevant money of its customers to be safeguarded in a combination of two ways: (a) a certain amount (the “Guaranteed Amount”) is safeguarded by a guarantee given by a safeguarding institution that is a licensed bank in Singapore, which requires the safeguarding institution to pay the Guaranteed Amount in the event of the insolvency of Western Union Global NetworkPte Ltd, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the PSA; and (b) an amount equivalent to all remaining relevant money which exceeds the Guaranteed Amount will be held by Western Union Global Network Pte Ltd on behalf of its customers in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) opened with another safeguarding institution that is also a licensed bank in Singapore. Generally, any relevant money received from a customer of Western Union Global Network that is deposited in the Trust Account will be commingled with relevant money received from other customers of Western Union Global Network Pte Ltd. Consequently, you acknowledge that it is not possible to identify any portion of the relevant money in the Trust Account as specifically belonging to you (nor is it possible to identify whether your relevant money is covered under the Guarantee as opposed to being deposited in the Trust Account) and money in the Trust Account could be withdrawn to meet the obligations of other customers. If the safeguarding institution with which the Trust Account is maintained becomes insolvent, you may be delayed or prevented from recovering your full entitlement to the relevant money. The following provision supplements Part B, Section VI: We assume liability for the execution of a money transfer order in the event of the fault of an employee or vicarious agent acting on Our behalf, pursuant to the provisions set forth under Singapore law. The liability of Western Union, Western Union affiliates and foreign agents is excluded for cases of negligence. This exclusion does not apply in the case of death, bodily injury or impairment of health, nor in the case of violating major contractual obligations. In the case of violating ancillary contractual obligations through negligence Our liability is limited to replacing the typical and reasonably foreseeable damage up to the maximum amount of SGD 500 (in addition to the transferred amount and the fees charged). The following provision amends Part B, Section VI, Subsection 1: 1. Choice of Law and Dispute Resolution. These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of Singapore. |
