⚡️and once again, Peru🇵🇪: Western Union to enable money transfers via WhatsApp

To send money, customers simply need to message WhatsApp number +511 5100145, select the type of transaction they wish to carry out, and complete a short form with the required details.

▶️Context: In Latin America —and especially in Peru— WhatsApp is the preferred communication channel. By offering money transfers through the app, Western Union is positioning itself closer to its core audience.

▶️Key benefits for users include lower fees and better exchange rates, the option to pay by bank transfer, and the ability to send money directly to a recipient’s bank account or digital wallet.

▶️Most importantly, the service also allows citizens to buy and sell U.S. dollars — a particularly relevant feature in Peru, where the economy is partially dollarized. Since the hyperinflation of the 1970s and 1980s, major purchases such as homes and cars are typically conducted in dollars.

▶️During the initial rollout, transfers to Colombia🇨🇴, Chile🇨🇱, Mexico🇲🇽, and Venezuela🇻🇪will be available free of charge.
