Western Union and M Lhuillier, one of the leading non-bank financial institutions in the Philippines, have expanded their partnership to offer Western Union money transfer services on the M Lhuillier mobile app – ML Wallet.
Receivers in the Philippines can now conveniently receive their Western Union money transfers into their ML wallets (available on both Android and iOS) by simply inputting Western Union’s unique money transfer control number (MTCN) and other identification details into the app. In the coming months, customers will also have the capability to send money worldwide through the app.
Western Union and M Lhuillier collaboration serves as online bridge for financial inclusion
The ML wallet is M Lhuillier’s official mobile app that allows users to also shop, pay bills, buy eLoad and withdraw money. The app serves as the online bridge for Filipinos who do not have access to banks or other financial institutions.
“Western Union provides a host of financial services that make an important difference in the lives of our customers and their families globally,” said Jeffrey Navarro, Head of Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei & Indochina for Western Union. “Today we are glad to expand our relationship with M Lhuillier offering customers added choices at their fingertips with the ML wallet and enabling them to move money in a way that is convenient to them. The world is on the move but interconnected through technology. We are proud to concentrate our efforts on bolstering our digital services, innovating and expanding to meet our customers’ changing needs.”
This digital collaboration broadens Western Union’s current offering with M Lhuillier, which already enables its services at more than 2,600 M Lhuillier locations nationwide.
“We are excited to advance our relationship with Western Union, now providing 24/7 convenient digital service connecting our customers across the country to their loved ones worldwide,” said Michael L. Lhuillier, President & CEO, M Lhuillier. “The most valuable innovation emerges from partnerships with like-minded companies and we are glad to expand with Western Union, driving our shared purpose of facilitating reliable and inclusive money transfers.”
