The benefits of money transfers by MoneyGram: there is no need to open a checking account when implementing the transfer. In 2010, MoneyGram announced a donation of U.S. $ 200,000 from the International Red Cross to help the people of Pakistan in fighting with the effects of flooding. MoneyGram offers an efficient, fast and secure way to send money around the world. MoneyGram completed the rollout of simplified pricing for money transfer services in the U.S., an initiative that began last year.
