MoneyGram and Tesco Bank Launch New International Online Money Transfer Platform

UNITED KINGDOM, Sep.23, 2020 -- MoneyGram International , Inc., a global leader in cross- border P2P payments and money transfers, today announced the launch of a new international online money transfer platform in partnership with Tesco Bank. The platform allows MoneyGram and Tesco customers to set up their transactions online and then pay by cash or card at Tesco stores. This new service allows customers to easily send money abroad, reduces the process time and eliminates the need to complete paperwork in-store. This is being introduced at a time when an increasing amount of money is being digitally transferred from the UK to overseas destinations.

The launch of this new capability is an important milestone for the partnership between 

MoneyGram and Tesco Bank, which was formed over seven years ago. The new service has 

now been introduced to 129 Tesco Express stores across the UK, adding to the existing 810 

stores that currently offer the service. Full roll-out to around 1,500 Tesco Express stores is 

expected over the next 18 months. 

“We are continually evolving our customer proposition through our leading digital capabilities and 

customer-centric solutions,” said Richard Meredith, Head of UK Key Partnership at MoneyGram. 

“This solution is a key milestone in our ongoing collaboration with Tesco Bank in being able to 

offer a seamless, digitised experience for customers.” 

Sigga Sigurdardottir, Chief Customer Officer at Tesco Bank added: “There are millions of people 

across the UK sending money abroad to help loved ones with everyday needs or in times of 

emergency. Our goal is to help Tesco shoppers manage their money a little better every day, and 

this enhancement to our partnership with MoneyGram lets customers send money overseas 

even more efficiently than before.”
