Due to regulatory requirements and consumer demand in Germany and France, MoneyGram opened company stores in both countries. After the correction of tariffs, volumes of MoneyGram transfers increased by 30%. 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. AgentConnect continues to be an attractive alternative for businesses that choose to integrate their networks and point-of-sale platforms with the MoneyGram wired transfer.
