In the modern world, the problem of transferring money over a distance will always be relevant. Many people are forced to work abroad in order to provide their families with money. To transfer money abroad, many transfer systems have been developed. But, perhaps, the most reliable of them is the Western Union money transfer system.

In total, there are more than 230 thousand such points in 195 countries of the world, so finding a point of the money transfer system should not be difficult. As a rule, these points are located in banks, bank branches, or post offices.
Step 2
At the point of transfer, you must fill out the "Application for sending money" form, indicating in it the full name of the recipient of the money, the country and city of receipt of the transfer. In order to avoid mistakes and overlaps, make sure once again that the addressee is in this city, and also carefully check the data you entered in the application. After that, you must present an identity document. This can be a passport of a citizen of the country, a driver's license, a military ID, etc.
