Company Description
Western Union's wires don't carry telegrams anymore STOP But they keep on humming with international money transfers STOP The firm has agents at more than than 440,000 locations worldwide that allow individuals and business customers to transfer money or make payments electronically. The pioneering company has taken advantage of technological advances and rolled with the changes since it was founded in 1851. Starting out as a messaging medium, it then added the US's first stock ticker, helped standardize timekeeping nationally, debuted an early charge card and the singing telegram, and finally shifted to money transfer services. First Data spun off Western Union to shareholders in 2006.
