AgentConnect allows MoneyGram agents to integrate the money transfer service with their internal security and training processes. Money transfers can be claimed within 45 days, but if for some reason, this period is exceeded, the processing operator would need additional time to call the main office of the company of MoneyGram for voice authorization. In 2011, a global network of agents of MoneyGram has grown up to 256 000 service points, thus its growth is 24% compared to the same period of the previous year. Technology continues to play a key role in increasing MoneyGram transaction speed, automating and streamlining processes, and creating new functionality. For the company MoneyGram is important not only to provide customers with an easy and convenient way to carry out money transfers and support their families at home, but also to help them as much as possible to adapt to the foreign countries. Millions of families depend on MoneyGram to safely send money home or pay the bills.
