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. 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. Keep in mind that if your locality there are several banks, working with MoneyGram and you will convert the currency received, before receiving check currency rates in several points - they can vary.
