Correos, Western and Corte Ingles launch campaign for immigrants
Correos, Western Union and “El Corte Ingles” (Spanish retail store) launched a campaign during July and August for the Argentinean and Uruguay people living in Spain. The purpose of the campaign is to facilitate the remittance of money.
Each customer who sends money to Uruguay and Argentina in one of the 250 offices will gain a typical tea and dessert from these countries.
The Spanish government estimates that there are around 4 million immigrants in Spain and around 120,000 from Argentina and Uruguay.
In 1999, Correos signed and agreement with Western Union for including money transfers in its 2,124 offices network.
