On March 7, 2011, MoneyGram entered into a Recapitalization Agreement with THL, as the holder of all of the B Stock, and Goldman Sachs, as the holder of all of the B-1 Stock. 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. The company installed more than 23,000 new MoneyGram signs around the globe, making it easier for consumers to find MoneyGram agents. The benefits of money transfers by MoneyGram: payment of commission is only at the expense of sender. In due time MoneyGram separated from the Western Union and became an independent brand.
