Due to regulatory requirements and consumer demand in Germany and France, MoneyGram opened company stores in both countries. MoneyGram cooperates with numerous partners from Europe. Among them such financial establishments as Post of Canada, Cyprus, Ukraine, Iceland, Moldova, the Royal Mail of UK and Norway, Italian Post, Bank of Ireland, Sberbank of Russia, Kocbank, Banco Popular Espanol, and many others. 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. 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.
