How to send cash to a mobile phone

Western Union® Mobile Money Transfer service allows you to send money directly to a mobile phone through a mobile wallet. Receivers must have a mobile wallet (m-Wallet) account with their Mobile Service Phone Provider to receive money on their mobile phone.

Depending on services offered by the Receiver's Mobile Provider, mobile funds may be used to pay bills, buy goods and services, purchase airtime, and/or withdraw cash.

What is a mobile wallet?

A mobile wallet is an account that is linked to a mobile phone into which money can be deposited or withdrawn.
