Additionally the customers can reload money in-person at any of the over 46,000 participating Western Union Agent locations in the US; online using a bank account; using direct deposit through an employer; and can load a Western Union money transfer transaction directly onto the cards.
Michael Hafer, vice president, US product management, Western Union, said: “Our new fee-friendly prepaid cards provide consumers with the freedom to spend without building debt while giving them control of their finances.”
