Due to regulatory requirements and consumer demand in Germany and France, MoneyGram opened company stores in both countries. Understanding that being in another country, you may not be fluent in the local language, that's why MoneyGram always tries to talk to you in your native language. In due time MoneyGram separated from the Western Union and became an independent brand. MoneyGram completed the acquisition of MoneyCard World Express, S.A. (MoneyCard) and Cambios Sol, S.A., two money transfer super-agents located in Spain. MoneyGram point-of-sale systems are continually upgraded to provide the latest new products and functionality.
