To protect our customers, we review every money transfer to make sure it’s safe. For a variety of reasons, we may ask you to provide us with more information before we can allow you to continue using our services.
We need additional information to understand why you use Western Union and the relationship between you and the person or entities you’re transacting with. The more information you provide, the quicker we’ll be able to complete your request.
To have access to our services again, follow the steps below:
a. Valid government-issued photo ID is needed to verify your identity.
b. Source of funds is needed to make sure that the money transfers are not related to illegal acts and correspond to the nature of your activity.
c. Purpose of money transfer or intended use of money is needed to understand the basis for making the payment and the type of relations between the sender and the payee.
d. Third party activity (sending or receiving money on behalf of individual or business) information is needed to understand the purpose and nature of your relationship with Western Union.
After we’ve received your completed questionnaire and required documentation, we’ll email you a response within 3 business days.
In case we have additional questions, we may contact you via the email address provided in the questionnaire.
We’re committed to the security of your personal information. We use organizational, technical and administrative safeguards that comply with applicable government laws and regulations to secure your personal information. We also restrict access to the personal information that we process to only our employees, agents and representatives that have a business need to know it.
