The benefits of money transfers by MoneyGram: there is no need to open a checking account when implementing the transfer. The company installed more than 23,000 new MoneyGram signs around the globe, making it easier for consumers to find MoneyGram agents. 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.
