The Parts of a Western Union Receipt, Explained
Worth knowing before you build your own version.
- MTCN
- The 10-digit Money Transfer Control Number. The receiver needs it (plus ID) to pick up the money, and it is how a transfer is tracked or traced.
- Send amount and fee
- The principal being sent and Western Union's transfer fee, totaled as the amount collected from the sender.
- Exchange rate
- On international transfers, the rate applied and the resulting payout amount in the destination currency. The rate margin is part of the cost of the transfer.
- Sender and receiver
- Full names on both ends. The receiver's name must match their ID at pickup, which is why spelling matters.
- Destination
- The receiving country and, for cash pickup, the expected payout location or network.
- Date and channel
- When and where the transfer was initiated: an agent location, westernunion.com, or the app.
