The announcement on Monday came as both companies are looking for ways to advance their digital strategies.
The collaboration with MoMo strengthens Western Union’s “Evolve 2025” strategy, which seeks to offer high-value, accessible digital and retail financial services.
“It’s our pleasure that MoMo is the first Vietnam fintech company to offer a service such as this with Western Union in order to support Vietnamese receiving cross-border remittances”, said Do Quang Thuan, senior vice president in charge of the Financial Services Business Unit at MoMo.
“Through our research, we found a rising need among overseas Vietnamese to send small amounts of money home to their families in Vietnam. Thanks to the new service, Vietnamese will now be able to receive Western Union money transfers through MoMo for many purposes such as family support and festive and celebratory occasions”, Thuan continued.
