The federal lawsuit argues that as one of the country’s largest international money transfer services, MoneyGram engaged in unfair practices which “largely impacted immigrant communities who relied on the company to send money back home to loved ones,” according to a news release from New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office.
“MoneyGram is a nonbank financial services company that enables consumers to send money, known as remittances, from the United States to more than 200 countries and territories,” the release said. “The company has 430,000 locations in the U.S. and worldwide, and also operates through a digital platform.”
