Western Union uses Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) to secure online payments. To ensure the best experience when using Western Union, we ask our customers to consider the below:

  • Make sure your card is enrolled for secure authentication by either contacting your bank or logging on to your online banking and selecting the option from your security settings.
  • Ensure your contact information is up to date on your online banking and Western Union profile.

Please note, you can also pay for your money transfers via alternate payment options available for your country, including Klarna, Trustly, iDeal, Faster payment, Apple Pay and WU Pay. Your payment options will be shown to you when you start an online transfer.
