ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan 14, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Western Union Company , a leader in global payment services, today launched Western Union Money Transfer(R) services at six banks in Myanmar, for the first time allowing Myanmarese and residents to receive international money remittances from more than 200 countries and territories in minutes.
