Western Union kicks off remittance services to Cuba from LATAM

The regional vice president of Western Union for Americas, Juan Loraschi, announced the launch of remittance services from across the world to Cuba following U.S. regulatory and policy changes that allow Cubans and non-Cubans to send remittances via Western Union to this nation. Loraschi told EFE that from now on 200 countries will be able to get the money within minutes to over 490 local agents distributed in all provinces and municipalities in Cuba. This past Tuesday the first remmitances from Panama were put in play according to different sources and should be available for the rest of LATAM countries as well.
