Due to regulatory requirements and consumer demand in Germany and France, MoneyGram opened company stores in both countries. The company installed more than 23,000 new MoneyGram signs around the globe, making it easier for consumers to find MoneyGram agents. MoneyGram agents are located - in post offices, bank offices, supermarkets, and even travel agencies. Money transfer platform of MoneyGram will be integrated with the mobile platform LinqUs, which will allow customers to make international transfers with a mobile phone. The benefits of money transfers by MoneyGram: high level of data protection and confidentiality of money transfers. For the company MoneyGram is important not only to provide customers with an easy and convenient way to carry out money transfers and support their families at home, but also to help them as much as possible to adapt to the foreign countries. In March 2012, the company MoneyGram merged with the network of U.S. payment centers ZipZap.
