Leaving the idea of expansion into Europe, Western Union took up the expansion of services in the U.S. market. Transaction with Fexco has allowed Western Union to control directly more than 10 thousand points of service, which belonged to Fexco in 7 European countries (Spain, UK, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark, Norway and Finland). Most service points of Western Union work in the time convenient for customers throughout the week and throughout the year. In 2000 was launched the Web site westernunion.com, with which users from certain countries can independently transfer funds online. In October 2006 the company made an initial public offering of shares on the New York Stock Exchange, becoming independent from First Data company.
