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. In 2010, MoneyGram announced a donation of U.S. $ 200,000 from the International Red Cross to help the people of Pakistan in fighting with the effects of flooding. MoneyGram completed the acquisition of MoneyCard World Express, S.A. (MoneyCard) and Cambios Sol, S.A., two money transfer super-agents located in Spain. MoneyGram offers an efficient, fast and secure way to send money around the world. Until 2004, the owners of MoneyGram were Viad Corp and Travelers Express Company Inc. It is very convenient and quick to transfer money without opening accounts and having no payment cards, precisely due to this wired transfer system MoneyGram has become one of the most common worldwide.
