For nearly 170 years and counting, Western Union has connected people around the world. Over the last decade, the world has changed faster than ever before – and we have changed with it. We provide fast, reliable, and convenient ways to move money across borders. We have grown to more than 550,000 agent locations in more than 200 countries and territories. Today, more than 70% of our digital transactions originate on mobile devices.
As a global organization, our employee base stretches around the world, as do the customers we serve. More than 10,000 employees live and work in over 50 countries, speaking more than 37 different languages and dialects, and we pay our employees in 45 different currencies.
From our day-to-day work to becoming a leader in cross-border, cross-currency money movement, we are motivated by values: being purpose driven, globally-minded, trustworthy and respectful. This means speaking our customers’ languages, living in their neighborhoods, sharing their culture, and giving back to our global community. That’s what we refer to as the WU Way. On our team, you’ll be part of a global workforce but still get the direct support and resources you need to succeed and grow.
We take pride in being named a “Best Place to Work” in multiple locations around the world, and we couldn’t have done it without our people.
We’re growing! Interested? We’d love to hear from you.

“I have been blessed in that I have worked at some great places and as a vet I know what it is like to be a part of something that you are proud of. My previous civilian employment never made me feel like I was part of a group working together to do something great. Working at WU I get to talk with people all over the world and it makes me feel good when I show up for work and I know I can do something that could improve lives, make the world more connected and do some good for others in need. My experience with WU really started some time ago, after attending a veteran's recruiting event. The recruiting staff were very engaged they called me regularly to get status updates and advocated on my behalf. I am very grateful for the opportunity and I hope to repay that kindness and professionalism with hard work.” – Lead Analyst | Denver, CO
“Western Union offers benefits that no other company offers to their employees with a continuous opportunity of career progression. They are committed to the team concept of getting the job done and the well being of their staff. They support their employees endeavours and are very military friendly. They have implemented several offerings that support their employees that wish to continue their service for their country. They listen to the ideas of their employees and have several reward programs that encourage free thinking. Everyone seems happy to be there and happy to work with like minded people. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to grow as a professional.” – AML Compliance Analyst | Englewood, CO
“If veterans are considering employment at Western Union, I would tell them that it’s an incredible place to enrich their career growth. The amenities and supportive culture will definitely permit any veteran to flourish, and allow them to continue serving in a capacity that impacts people all over the world in so many positive ways.” – Compliance & Fraud Analyst, GAI | Englewood, CO
