Viber UK Users Can Send Money Thanks To Western Union
Western Union, the global payment services company, announced Wednesday (Dec. 7) it is enhancing its relationship with Viber, the mobile messaging app that counts 745 million unique users around the globe.
In a press release, Western Union said it is enhancing its existing relationship with Viber by enabling Viber users in the U.K. to send money domestically and internationally to more than 200 countries and territories via the Viber app. According to Western Union, it, along with Viber, created a money transfer service that will start and complete within the chat interface of Viber. It not only gives users the ability to transfer money without leaving the app but also contextualizes money transfer within the personal relationships it supports. Earlier this year, both companies announced Viber users in the United States could send money to more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.
