Since going public two and a half years ago, MoneyGram has made great strides by pouring energy and resources into several critically important areas for business. 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. Until 2004, the owners of MoneyGram were Viad Corp and Travelers Express Company Inc. The benefits of money transfers by MoneyGram: simplicity in making up.
