Deadline for picking up WU payments

You must pick up your WU payment within 60 days in the same country to which your payment was issued. (Payments are available for pickup at your local WU agent the day after they're issued.) If there is no issue with your payment, and you don't pick up your payment within 60 days, your earnings will be credited back to your account and your payments will be put on hold. If your payment is held: visit the Payments page in your account, read the red alert and follow the instructions to re-enable payments to your account. If there are any issues with your payment, contact us.

How to pick up your WU payment

  1. Visit https://location.westernunion.com/ to find a WU agent located in the country where your payments are sent.
  2. Call the WU agent to confirm that they offer the Quick Cash service.
  3. Bring the following information with you:
    • A valid government-issued photo ID (passport, driving licence, national ID, etc.)
    • Your sender's information (which you'll find on your payment receipt).

      To view your payment receipt, visit your 'Transactions' page and click the Automatic payment link. Examples of sender's information include:

      • Payment amount
      • Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN)
      • Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA.
      • Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Notes:
  • In some countries, you might be required to answer a test question to pick up your WU payment. This is an additional step to ensure that your payment is transferred securely.
  • Remember to pick up your WU payment within 60 days of the payment date, or the amount will be credited back to your account.

Currency, exchange rate and payment limit for WU payments

Your WU payment will be made in either U.S. dollars or euros, depending on the currency shown on your Payments page. However, at most WU agent locations you'll have the option to receive your payment either in the currency it was issued or in your local currency (provided the agent has this currency available). We recommend that you call your local WU agent to confirm which currencies are available. The exchange rate will vary based on the rate used by the WU agent on the day that you pick up your payment.

Note: Depending on your country, there may be a maximum limit on the amount you can receive in a single payment via WU. If your payment exceeds the limit, then it will be split into multiple payments. If multiple payments are not available in your country, we recommend receiving your payments by bank transfer. For more information on WU payment limits, see the table above or contact your WU agent.
