The Beginnings Of Western Union

The Western Union officially started trading in 1851 although it didn’t become known as Western Union until 1856. Between the 1860s and the 1980s, it is fair to say that Western Union dominated the telegraph industry. The company originally started as a simple form of communicating with people across the country. They then started to offer additional services, such as wiring money from one place to another. This is the service they became most famous for. In fact, money transfer has increasingly become its core business since the 1980s as there is little call for telegrams or similar in the modern digital age.

The Western Union Services Offered Today

Western Union now concentrates on making it as easy as possible to send money from one place and person to another. In fact, sending money between people and places is the only service that Western Union offers today. Despite a variety of options available to individuals and businesses, Western Union remains one of the best known and is used by millions of customers every year.
