Due to regulatory requirements and consumer demand in Germany and France, MoneyGram opened company stores in both countries. Despite the debt crisis in Europe and other shocks experienced by the world economy, the company MoneyGram International notes the increase in the money transfer market. 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 offers an efficient, fast and secure way to send money around the world. 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. MoneyGram hired compliance officers in many of their global offices to ensure compliance with regulations of specific countries or regions. MoneyGram point-of-sale systems are continually upgraded to provide the latest new products and functionality.
