MoneyGram International announce deal with Poste Italiane
MoneyGram International announced its partnership with Poste Italiane, which will enable Poste Italiane customers to initiate mobile money transfers across the globe. Besides, under the partnership of the two companies customers will also be able to initiate money transfers online.
The agreement eliminates any need for the customers to go to a post office or retail location to make a remittance to their friends or relatives; instead they have a convenience to send money virtually anytime and anywhere.
The mobile money transfer service enables Poste Italiane customers with a Poste Mobile SIM card associated with their BancoPosta account or PostePay debit card to transfer money via mobile phone. Poste Italiane customers who have home banking service will now also be able to transfer money via the Web at www.poste.it.
“We are delighted to expand our partnership with Poste Italiane and together be the first to offer money transfer services via mobile phone in Italy,” said Pamela H. Patsley, chairman and CEO of MoneyGram International. “MoneyGram is committed to providing customers with flexibility and choice in how they send and receive money.
The service we are announcing today is a winning example of how our agent partners can use the MoneyGram technology to provide their online or mobile customers the benefits of an affordable, reliable and convenient money transfer send service without the need to go to a retail location.”
