Money transfers via MoneyGram system can be used as by bank customers, and by people who do not have bank accounts. Technology continues to play a key role in increasing MoneyGram transaction speed, automating and streamlining processes, and creating new functionality. 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. MoneyGram hired compliance officers in many of their global offices to ensure compliance with regulations of specific countries or regions. Until 2004, the owners of MoneyGram were Viad Corp and Travelers Express Company Inc. In March 2012, the company MoneyGram merged with the network of U.S. payment centers ZipZap.
