Western Union announced this week that it has resumed limited
remittance services between the United States and Cuba. The pilot
program allows for money transfers of up to $2,000 a day.
"It is with great pleasure we announce the resumption of
our Cuba operations with an initial testing phase of outbound
service from the U.S. to customers with Cuban bank accounts via
select U.S. Agent locations," announced Gabriella Fitzgerald,
the president of Western Union North America. "The close
connection between our U.S. customers and their families living in
Cuba, together with the role our services play in helping create
better lives, are inextricably linked," she added. "We
are delighted to offer this critical connection once again for our
customers."
