Throwing light on MoneyGram’s reach, Justyna John, senior marketing manager for MoneyGram, UK, says: “MoneyGram services are offered in nearly 200 countries. We have over 350,000 agents around the world.”
What about the fee for sending remittances? “Well, fee depends on where you are sending money to and how much you are sending but yes, the fee starts from £1.99. However, we try to be competitive. Principally the remittances are used for celebrations like Diwali and other festivals, for education and medical expenses. We also found lots of people in India use the money to make investments in the country,” says Justyna, who has been with the company for 4 years, adding that the Diwali gift offer prizes will be given in India.
How quick is your service? “Well, we have two services – the next day service and the 10-minute service. The moment you send money, it’s received in 10 minutes, it’s as quick as that. People can send money to their bank accounts as well. They can send money through mobile, from website through internet, agent location – and it can be received either in cash or directly to their bank account. We also have kiosks at post offices where people can send the money more quickly.”
Why use the MoneyGram Service? “The service offers competitive exchange rates and lower transfer fees. You can manage your money transfers online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, thanks to moneygram.co.uk”
Justyna says: “Apart from focusing on Diwali campaign, we are also focusing on MoneyGram Foundation that helps improving lives of communities all around the world throughout the year. MoneyGram Foundation was set up in 2012. It was mainly set up to help children go to school and get education. The Foundation raises money through volutary donation by employees.”
