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 completed the acquisition of MoneyCard World Express, S.A. (MoneyCard) and Cambios Sol, S.A., two money transfer super-agents located in Spain. Last year, MoneyGram business in the CIS and Eastern Europe took priority positions to increase the number of branches in comparison with other regions - were opened new four thousand branches. Commission income on remittances and other revenues of MoneyGram in the 2nd quarter 2012 increased by 10% compared to the same period last year and 13% in the base currency. MoneyGram completed the rollout of simplified pricing for money transfer services in the U.S., an initiative that began last year.
