Due to regulatory requirements and consumer demand in Germany and France, MoneyGram opened company stores in both countries. 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. AgentConnect allows MoneyGram agents to integrate the money transfer service with their internal security and training processes. AgentConnect continues to be an attractive alternative for businesses that choose to integrate their networks and point-of-sale platforms with the MoneyGram wired transfer. MoneyGram launched a new in-person bill payment service which will be delivered through agents in their domestic network, giving consumers an easy, low-cost method to pay their bills. 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. 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.
