Sending Money
In some parts of the world you can send money to a bank account. Please check with Customer Service or your Western Union Agent for details.
No, you do not need a bank account to send or receive money.
Any time after the money transfer has been sent, you can track your money transfer online at this web site. All you need is your name and the Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) to verify if the money transfer has been paid.
At an Agent location you can send as much money as you like. However, certain security compliance requirements must be met for amounts exceeding $1,000.00 or to comply with government requirements. If you are sending to the state of Arizona in the United States, you may only send $450 USD per transaction.
The maximum amount of money you can send online in a 30-day period is CA $500.00 for transfers within Canada and the United States., and CA $999.99 for transfers outside Canada and the United States.
Senders may need to present identification or provide other information to meet government requirements. To send money from an Agent location you do not need a credit card, debit card, bank account, Western Union membership, or citizenship papers.
Money is usually available for pick up within minutes of sending. However, pick up is subject to Agent location hours of operation, differences in time zones and conditions of service.
Receiving Money
You can check the status at www.westernunion.ca and click on TRACKING. You need the sender's name and the Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) to determine if the money is available for pick up.
You may pick up your money transfer at any Agent location.
In most cases, money transfers are paid out in cash in local currency. However, depending on the amount sent and the location, some money transfers will be paid out by cheque, or in a combination of cash and a cheque. Other restrictions may apply.
Customers receiving money need a valid form of identification or, in some cases, the answer to a test question provided by the sender. You will need to complete a "To Receive Money" form with the following information: your name, address, amount expected. You also need to know the sender's name, telephone number, city and province/territory being sent from. Some restrictions and other requirements may apply.
Within Canada: Drivers License, current passport or provincial health insurance card are valid identification. Outside of Canada identification requirements may be different. Check with the Agent location in the receiving country.
