Payment services provider Western Union has
launched a foreign exchange (FX) payment service enabling SME
clients to make cross-border payments via their smartphone.

The mobile payment solution allows users to
pay their suppliers in 140 different currencies in global markets
while locking in a currency-exchange rate and fee before
transferring funds.

“The sheer demand for innovative mobile
services is evident, and our clients want to take advantage of new
m-payment options,” said Raj Agrawal, general manager, Western
Union Business Solutions.

“This new mobile payment service not only
makes it easier to transfer funds globally to foreign suppliers and
workers but also offers the ability to take advantage of foreign
currencies when making international payments.”

The service is claimed to be available in all
countries where Western Union currently offers online payment and
FX services through its Business Solutions division, including the
US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Italy, France and Australia.
