    How Western Union Works

    Western Union offers a fast customer-to-customer money transfer service. The sender initiates a transfer and receives a Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN), which the receiver provides along with identification at a Ghazanfar Bank branch to collect the funds.

    Always keep your MTCN confidential and share it only with the intended receiver. The receiver's name must exactly match the identification presented.

    • The sender sends the money and receives a Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN)
    • The sender shares the MTCN and transfer details with the receiver
    • The receiver visits a Ghazanfar Bank branch with the MTCN and valid identification
    • The receiver completes a simple 'receive' form
    • The funds are paid out to the receiver, usually within minutes
