The website notes that BSF customers can now send money for payout into bank accounts of loved ones in over 125 countries and territories, or to more than 550,000 Agent locations across more than 200 countries and territories, anytime.
Hatem Sleiman, Western Union Head, Middle East, Pakistan and Afghanistan, tells the outlet that “moving money internationally is complex and we have the expertise and infrastructure to handle it all. Today we are glad to make Western Union payout services available to BSF customers, increasing the number of ways customers can move funds for cross-border money transfers.”
