Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Supports all computer and mobile phones brands and on all OS varieties. Works both online and offline. Easily accessible. It has the highest usability score of any payment platform due to its accessibility by all businesses. It also has the most robust feature of any platform I've used namely; funds transfer, withdrawals & deposits, loans & overdrafts, savings with interests, insurance, interbank transfers, merchant pay bills and tills, branchless banking, online and offline support at M-PESA agents.

Cons

  • Lacks a robust international network which limits its accessibility beyond Eastern Africa.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like Western Union because I can depend on them. They have very good customer service and have dealt very well with the very few hiccups I've had through the years.

Cons

  • Only available to help during business hours, this can sometimes be a little frustrating.
