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. In 2010, MoneyGram announced a donation of U.S. $ 200,000 from the International Red Cross to help the people of Pakistan in fighting with the effects of flooding. The benefits of money transfers by MoneyGram: the opportunity to send a telegram with money transfer (up to 10 words) for free. MoneyGram completed the rollout of simplified pricing for money transfer services in the U.S., an initiative that began last year. Keep in mind that if your locality there are several banks, working with MoneyGram and you will convert the currency received, before receiving check currency rates in several points - they can vary.
