Western union has been doing money transfers for, oh, the past hundred years or so.

Western Union also got hacked and my credit card number was stolen from them.
Besides that their online system sucks. I sent money to my brother using a credit card, it said money was sent. I gave my brother the pickup info. He went to pick it up but it wasn't there. I found out the hard way that Western Union will call you back to make sure that you sent the money but they don't tell you that. So if you aren't by the phone when they call, no money will be sent. I made the payment and entered my home phone, then went to work. My brother finally got a hold of me at work and told me to call them back to verify that I sent the money. I called and Western Union put me on hold for 10 minutes only to have me state my name and say that I sent the money. Then a couple hours after that my brother got the money I sent. Western Union can kiss my @ss.
