The Western Union Company , a leader in global payment services, and the Angola Post Office, provider of postal and financial services in Angola, announced the signing of an agreement to provide for the first time Western Union money transfer services to consumers in Angola.

Richard Malcolm, Regional Vice President for Southern and East Africa at Western Union, says, “We are delighted to start this collaboration with the Angola Post Office and are confident this will expand the network offering of Western Union services. We encourage investment in the country and remain positive that Angola will continue to prosper with the help of the international community.”
