The benefits of money transfers by MoneyGram: there is no need to open a checking account when implementing the transfer. 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. Around the world, MoneyGram is working with leading financial institutions. In March 2012, the company MoneyGram merged with the network of U.S. payment centers ZipZap.
