What are the main benefits of money transfers by MoneyGram? Simple - the money transfer procedure is maximally simplified.

MoneyGram International, one of the leading companies in the global money transfer market, has announced that its customers in Israel can now send and receive money transfers in Euro. 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. Until 2004, the owners of MoneyGram were Viad Corp and Travelers Express Company Inc.
