It added that by certifying such vendors it
would reduce integration costs and accelerate go-to-market
activities for banks and mobile operators by creating standard
technical deployments.
Banks or phone operators who sign up to the
platform are able to send and receive money via more than 334,000
locations in 200 countries and regions.
The firm said that establishing the programme
was a key step to achieving its “Western Union Anywhere” service
proposition.
