Western Union links with ecoPayz online wallet

Ecoaccount online wallet holders can now top up funds using Western Union's global digital or retail network, and can send Western Union international or domestic money transfers from the U.K., according to a press release. 

This has been made possible following the successful integration of Western Union's money-movement functionalities within ecoPayz' platform.

Western Union said the integration paves the way for a new class of online payment processors to join its global agent network.

EcoPayz-branded products are offered by PSI-Pay Ltd., a global provider of instant, secure and convenient payment services to customers and businesses, which becomes Western Union's first U.K.-based online wallet Agent.

EcoPayz customers can now top up funds online via wu.com or the Western Union mobile app where available, or use Western Union's retail agent network in more than 150 countries and territories. In addition, customers in the U.K. can send domestic or international money transfers from their Ecoaccounts into billions of bank accounts or for payout in cash in more than 150 countries and territories.
