Western Union has collaborated with Linxo, one of the leading budget management and bank account aggregation applications in France, to enable users to make local and cross-border payments through Western Union’s platform.

This means that Linxo’s 3.5 million uses can now make and manage money transfers quickly, conveniently, and reliably, 24/7, accessing the broadest digital global network coverage within the cross-border person-to-person payment sector.

Users can fund their transfers through their bank account or card, and have their funds paid out into billions of bank accounts and millions of mobile wallets in approximately 125 countries, or more than half a million retail locations in more than 200 countries and territories.

In France, and globally, Western Union partners with fintechs, banks and post offices, offering their customers flexibility and trust underpinned by technology, customer experience and compliance.

Established in 2010, Linxo, a subsidiary of Crédit Agricole Payment Services, is a pioneering account aggregation fintech, that optimizes bank account and transaction management for its users. The Linxo application is available in both free and premium versions on the Apple App Store and on Google Play.
