Due to regulatory requirements and consumer demand in Germany and France, MoneyGram opened company stores in both countries. Technology continues to play a key role in increasing MoneyGram transaction speed, automating and streamlining processes, and creating new functionality. Very intensive and focused approach has helped MoneyGram to grow business at a rapid pace and establish MoneyGram as a global player in the marketplace. As part of the 2008 Recapitalization, our wholly owned subsidiary, MoneyGram Payment Systems Worldwide, Inc., issued Goldman Sachs $500.0 million of senior secured second lien notes with a 10-year maturity. Money orders and official checks by MoneyGram continue their steady performance and expanded line of bill payment services deliver excellent results. Thousands of businesses count on MoneyGram for payment services to move money and drive commerce. This is a trust that MoneyGram takes very seriously. In March 2012, the company MoneyGram merged with the network of U.S. payment centers ZipZap.
