Important Information for Participants in the My WU Program
This My WU® Program Agreement (“Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions governing the My WU Program (“Program”). The terms “Western Union” “we” “us” and “our” used in this Agreement mean Western Union Financial Services, Inc. “You” and “your” means the person to whom a My WU Number is issued pursuant to this Agreement (“Number”).
This is your Contract with us. You should read this Agreement and keep it for your records. By enrolling, using the Number or by otherwise participating in the Program, you agree to the terms of this Agreement. Your Number is required to perform any Program transactions. Your Number remains the property of Western Union and must be returned to us immediately upon our request in case of abuse, cancellation of the Agreement or ending of the Program. To benefit from all its advantages, your Number can only be used by you. Its use is subject to the terms of the Agreement. This Number is personal and cannot be shared.
Description of the Program.
You may enroll in the My WU Program without receiving a financial product or service from Western Union or its affiliates. Enrollment in the Program provides you with the following benefits:
A. Convenience: The Program allows you to request completion of a qualifying Western Union® transaction (“Qualifying Transaction”) more conveniently. The Program allows information about you to be available automatically whenever you present your Number when conducting a Qualifying Transaction. Qualifying Transactions are subject to applicable product- or service-specific terms and conditions, which may vary from time to time. Western Union also makes money from currency exchange. When choosing a money transmitter, carefully compare both transfer fees and exchange rates. Fees and foreign exchange rates may vary by brand, channel and location based on a number of factors. Fees and rates are subject to change without notice. In order to use the Number and participate in the Program, you must fulfill all requirements pursuant to law.
B. Rewards: The Program may enable you to earn points or other rewards or benefits (“Points”) for each Qualifying Transaction you complete using your Number. A description of Qualifying Transactions and the Points, if any, you earn for each Qualifying Transaction can be found in the Program materials. Qualifying Transactions and the Points earned are subject to change at Western Union’s sole discretion and without notice. The current amount of Points on your Number is available on request by contacting the My WU Program as set forth below under Section 10.
Participation in the Program. The Program is open to private individuals who are 18 years and older and have a main residence at a valid address in your country. Only one enrollment per person will be accepted. We may, in our discretion, refuse to accept your enrollment if you do not satisfy our enrollment criteria.
Obtaining Points for Transactions without Your Number. If you carried out a Qualifying Transaction but did not use your Number, you may still acquire Points by contacting us at the number provided in Section 10 below. We reserve the right not to issue Points if we cannot verify the transaction.
Redeeming your Points. Once you accumulate the requisite Points for the available rewards, you may redeem your Points by logging into www.wu.com/mywu, by contacting us at the number provided in Section 10 below or by other means we make available to you. The rewards and required Points to redeem such rewards can be found by logging onto www.wu.com/mywu and both are subject to change at Western Union’s sole discretion and without notice. Points are neither negotiable nor redeemable for cash.
Rewards and Benefits. Western Union may from time to time require you to verify certain information about yourself (for example, e-mail address or mobile phone number) before you can earn, receive and/or redeem Program rewards and benefits. All rewards and benefits offered are subject to change and availability or cancellation without any prior notice from us.
Important Information about your Points. Points expire one year from date of the Qualifying Transaction. Any Points earned on your Number will be forfeited when your Number or your participation in the Program is suspended, terminated, cancelled, closed, revoked, found to be fraudulent or declared void under law. Points are not considered earned until actually redeemed by you and have no cash value and will not earn interest and are not insured against loss. Points can not be purchased, sold, combined or transferred in any way. Maintaining the Number and the Points are your sole responsibility. Rewards will not be replaced if lost or stolen nor will Points used to redeem such Rewards be reaccredited.
Communications. By providing your home telephone number and/or email address as part of the enrollment process, you expressly consent to Western Union contacting you from time to time by telephone or e-mail with news, offers, services, promotions and other communications concerning Western Union and/or other companies with which Western Union has a relationship. By providing your mobile number with enrollment, you authorize us to send an automated text message to your mobile number with program materials and request consent to send future promotional texts. Consent is not required for purchase and may be revoked at any time. Message and data rates apply. You can reply STOP to stop, and HELP for help. You understand and agree that any charges imposed by the provider of such services are your sole responsibility. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us as set forth in Section 10 below.
Consent to Process, Disclose and Transfer Information to Third Parties. By participating in the Program, you agree that Western Union may use personal information you provide to us when using the Program and our other products and services, as well as other information that is collected or generated during our relationship with you for the purposes and ways described in this section. This includes information from other services like money transfers, bill payments, loyalty or membership programs, previous use of our services history, and marketing choices.

We may provide information collected to other organizations, including those that help us run our business and this Program and the service you have requested, for future services, or for any of the reasons or uses set out in this section.

The information we hold may be accessed by Western Union and our affiliates for any of the reasons set out in this section or for other purposes to which you have agreed. You have a right to ask us for a copy of your information, for which we may charge a small fee. You can also correct, erase or limit our use of the information which is incomplete, inaccurate or out-of-date, you may object at any time for legitimate reasons to the use of your information, where the processing is not required to complete the service, or not required by law or regulation.
