MoneyGram and Citi announce pact to work together
A.M. Costa Rica

MoneyGram International, a global money transfer company, and Citi, the financial services firm, announced Thursday an agreement to expand MoneyGram’s money transfer services to all Citi locations in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. “This important agreement extends MoneyGram’s presence in Citi’s network across Central America,” said Dan O’Malley, MoneyGram International executive vice president for the Americas. “MoneyGram’s growth in Central America is a vital part of our global expansion plans, and adding hundreds of agent locations across Central America with a premier partner like Citi is a significant step in establishing a foundation for future growth.”

In 2009, Central America received nearly $11.6 billion in remittances according to the Inter-American Development Bank. Central America is highly dependent on these funds as the bank estimated it accounts for nearly 17 percent of the region’s gross domestic product, said MoneyGram. "Expanding our relationship with MoneyGram will provide Central Americans in the region and their family and friends with affordable, reliable and convenient money transfer services," said Constantino Gotsis, a Citi executive.

Citi has grown extensively in the region since 2007 when it acquired Grupo Cuscatlan and Grupo Financiero Uno. Both institutions had provided MoneyGram money transfer services for 15 years in El Salvador and Honduras. MoneyGram began its global money transfer services in Central America more than 15 years ago. The company has expanded in the region and has a network comprised of financial institutions and retailers.

Not that I would have first hand knowledge about this :shock: . You can go in any Wal Mart and wire money through Money Gram for a lot less charge than anyone other method. I have a friend who from time to time wires a little money and he shared this info with me. :|

Did I read that right? Money gram is 17% of the GDP? So money gram and western union together are probably over 33% of the GDP, guess those RFMs are powering the local economy more than we thought.....
