Total Wireless now covers your Western Union transfer fees | Infinium-tech

Verizon-owned mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) Total Wireless has today announced that it is the first and only US carrier to include a global monthly transfer benefit in its plans in partnership with Western Union.

Total Wireless customers can send money to friends and family in more than 200 countries and territories through Western Union’s mobile app or website, provided they are on MAX 5G BYO, MAX 5G and ALL ACCESS plans. Includes one transfer per month starting today.

The carrier says the move “represents a meaningful new frontier for telecommunications, built around the financial realities of communities that have long been underserved by wireless carriers”.

David Kim, president of Verizon Value, said:

Total Wireless was built on the idea that a great wireless plan should be most useful to the people who rely on it most. Adding Western Union money transfer to our plans reflects what we truly believe in. No one should have to choose between staying connected and taking care of the people they love, and we’re proud to be the first carrier to do that.

Jesse Mori, senior vice president of strategic partnerships at Western Union, said:

For generations, Western Union has helped people move money across borders because we understand what each transfer represents – not just dollars, but our mission to make financial services accessible to people everywhere. By partnering with Total Wireless, we’re making it easier for customers to support the people they trust, turning everyday wireless planning into a more meaningful way to stay connected, care for loved ones, and move money with confidence.
