THE Western Union Company, a leader in global payment services, and eTranzact International plc, a multi-application and multi-channel electronic payment processing company, have announced the launch of a new mobile money transfer service.

The firms explained that consumers in Nigeria who use the eTranzact Mobile Money platform now have the option of receiving a Western Union Money Transfer transaction on their mobile phones.  Consumers can receive funds from money transfer transactions initiated at westernunion.com transactional websites in 23 countries, or Western Union Agent locations around the world.


Western Union Regional Vice President for North, Central and West Africa, Aida Diarra said,
“Western Union continues to introduce new service offerings to complement our multi-product, multi-channel strategy. We are very pleased to launch our new relationship with eTranzact to increase the number of access points for consumers to use our services worldwide, facilitate financial inclusion, and provide convenient mobile solutions for those who want new methods for money transfer transactions.  To date, we have 19 active mobile money transfer deployments in 17 countries, and remain committed to expanding our mobile service offerings in key regions.”

eTranzact Mobile Money is a mobile payment solution that has multi-network interface capabilities with third-party payment programs. Upon receipt of their funds via a Western Union Money Transfer transaction, subscribers can use PocketMoni, the eTranzact Mobile Money platform, to pay utility and cable television bills, make merchant payments, top-up their mobile phone credits and/or make third party transfers.
