The Western Union Company

Western Union's wires don't carry telegrams anymore STOP But they keep on humming with international money transfers STOP The firm's more than 410,000 locations worldwide allow individuals and business customers to transfer money or make payments electronically. The pioneering company has taken advantage of technological advances and rolled with the changes, since The Western Union Company was founded in 1851. Starting out as a messaging medium, The Western Union Company then added the US's first stock ticker, helped standardize timekeeping nationally, debuted an early charge card and the singing telegram, and finally shifted to money transfer services. First Data spun off Western Union (formerly Western Union Financial Services) to shareholders in 2006.
