As businesses have a growing need to move money around the globe and transact in different currencies, we’ve answered these needs with Western Union Business Solutions to help navigate the global economy, including solutions for International Payments, Risk Management, and Cash Management Solutions.

We believe that when money moves, better things can happen. A business expands. A child goes to college. Emergency aid arrives when it’s needed. An economy prospers, an opportunity opens, a community heals and relationships endure. Moving money for better means moving money for a better world –creating value for individuals, businesses and for society. The Western Union Foundation believes that education is one of the surest pathways to economic opportunity. Through collaborations with NGOs around the world, the Foundation has embarked on a mission to connect 50,000 migrants, refugees, women and young people to the global economy by 2020 through demand-driven skills training and workforce enablement programs. The Foundation also offers a global scholarship program that helps put a post-secondary education in reach for in-need students studying in the STEM fields and business.
