MoneyGram and Visa Extend Remittance Service

MoneyGram International MGI and Visa Inc. V announced today the launch of MoneyGram's first cash-to-Visa account program for remittances from the United States to Mexico. The program, which is built off of the success of MoneyGram's cash-to-Visa service in Guatemala, allows consumers to visit any of the 35,000 MoneyGram locations in the U.S. to quickly and reliably send funds directly to eligible Visa accounts in Mexico. Recipients in Mexico receive the funds directly to their Visa credit, debit, or prepaid accounts, giving them convenient access to their funds through Visa's global network of millions of merchant acceptance locations and ATMs.
