The first question that usually pops up before someone send you money through Western Union is if you can pick it up. If there are no Western Union Agents in your country it means you can’t pick up the cash. Luckily, in Nigeria, there are lots of these agents. And we won’t just give you their location but also share with you their contact numbers.
New Updates on Western Union
Over the years, things have changed, Policies have been created by a new government that has altered the way Western Union works, a few of such updates have been highlighted below;
