Understanding that being in another country, you may not be fluent in the local language, that's why MoneyGram always tries to talk to you in your native language. In due time MoneyGram separated from the Western Union and became an independent brand. 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. Millions of people around the world trust MoneyGram, as the wired transfer system provides its customers with a reliable, fast and inexpensive service. MoneyGram hired compliance officers in many of their global offices to ensure compliance with regulations of specific countries or regions. In March 2012, the company MoneyGram merged with the network of U.S. payment centers ZipZap.
