How to Send Money to Family in Mexico

Mexico By Coreen Tossona July 14, 2022

Living and working in the U.S. and having family in Mexico means you can’t always see how they are doing up close. But you can still support them when they need help or gift money to them on special occasions.

At Western Union, we use our expertise on cross-border money transfers to make staying connected to and supporting your family easy and convenient.

 

Our Mobile App Makes It Easy to Send Money to Mexico

If you are new to sending or gifting money through Western Union or if you have been sending money for years through our retail locations, you may not know that we have a mobile app that makes sending money to loved ones easier.

Simply download the app, and you can send money, track money transfers, pay bills, review exchange rates and find agent locations – all from your smartphone or tablet. Money transfers through the app are encrypted to help ensure a reliable transfer, and they can be picked up by the receiver usually just minutes after you hit send.

Pay directly through your bank account, a credit or debit card, or Apple Pay® or start a transaction on the app and finish at a retail location – whatever way works best for you. You can even save details of your family and friends to make repeat money transfers easier.

Sign up for our MyWUSM rewards program and collect points any time you send money via the app. Rewards include discounts off transfer fees and special product offers from top brands exclusively for My WUSM members.

 

Other Ways to Send Money Through Western Union

While most of our customers use our mobile app, if that’s not for you, we have other reliable ways of sending or gifting money too.

Send directly from our website to relatives in Mexico or over 200 countries and territories worldwide. Or send to one of our more than 38,000 Western Union retail locations in Mexico.

Whether you send money through our app, website or retail location, the person receiving the money can receive it as a bank deposit into their account or pick it up at a Western Union location. The choice is up to you and the person you are sending money to.

Be ready for your next money transfer and download our mobile app today.
