Due to regulatory requirements and consumer demand in Germany and France, MoneyGram opened company stores in both countries. The company installed more than 23,000 new MoneyGram signs around the globe, making it easier for consumers to find MoneyGram agents. Understanding that being in another country, you may not be fluent in the local language, that's why MoneyGram always tries to talk to you in your native language. 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. 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. MoneyGram completed the acquisition of MoneyCard World Express, S.A. (MoneyCard) and Cambios Sol, S.A., two money transfer super-agents located in Spain. MoneyGram point-of-sale systems are continually upgraded to provide the latest new products and functionality.
