I had my first experience as Recipient of Western Union money transfer, which merits this blog post.
MTCN# or Money Transfer Control Number, a ten digit number, is amongst the primary information needed by the teller along with Receiver's Name, Sender's Name, Amount of money transferred, Receiver's contact number and sender's origin. I was also requested to present a valid I. D.
Once teller has the necessary information, I signed the print out of acknowledgement receipt form and the money is handed over to me.
It was a simple process, right? But I was unsuccessful with my first attempt in one of Western Union outlets at Quezon City. The second outlet at San Mateo, Rizal made it possible.
For a mere one thousand pesos equivalent money transfer, the learning was worth it.
