Express Union has been a big player in the Money transfer agency. Founded in 1997, Express Union has formed a dynamic network spread over most African countries and overseas. It has also formed partnerships with International Money transfer agencies such as World Remit to reduce its money transfer charges.
Before 2012, they quickly occupied a dominant market share, notably in Cameroon. This was before the rise of MTN Mobile Money and Orange Money. However, Money transfer charges by MTN Mobile Money and Orange money have since risen, and some consumers have been left flat-footed by these. Hence, the need to look for other options.
Thankfully, Express Union has since stepped up this game by keeping its low Transfer Charges and creating a Mobile App to keep up with the digital trend of Mobile Banking.
