Receive money transfers the Western Union way
With two convenient ways to receive money – in bank accounts or in cash – we make sending money transfers fast and reliable for both sender and receiver.
Deposit in a bank account or pick up in cash
When you send online or with the Western Union® app, the receiver can get funds directly deposited into one of billions of bank accounts around the world or pick up cash in-person at an agent location near them.
Flexibility to change the way you receive money
Even though situations can change, it’s important that everyone still receives their money. That’s why Western Union® makes it possible to change the way you receive your money. Just follow the steps below.

1 Date available will be displayed on receipt for international transfers over $15. Service and funds availability depends on certain factors including the Service selected, the selection of delayed delivery options, special terms applicable to each Service, amount sent, destination country, currency availability, regulatory issues, consumer protection issues, identification requirements, delivery restrictions, agent location hours, and differences in time zones (collectively, “Restrictions”).
2 Faster access to funds is based on comparison of Netspend’s immediate availability policy versus the typical banking practice of only posting funds after settlement. Direct Deposit and earlier availability of funds are subject to payor’s support of this feature and timing of payor’s funding. Check with your payor to find out when the direct deposit of funds will start.
