Iway Diaries trying Western Union via Paymaya

Would you believe if I tell you that people are busier these days? Every day, we have more to do, with less time to do it. Our available time to do other stuff like running errands is indeed limited. But thanks to technology and the internet, most of our tasks are now made easier.

Imagine receiving money, pay bills, and shop, while you’re still in bed, possible? With Paymaya partnering with Western Union, it’s very much possible and easy! I recently tried this new feature and I’m quite amazed how much time I saved. I feel secure as well as I say goodbye to walking with a huge amount of money in my wallet. I wish they’re all mine but bills are calling so imagine if I lost that money?

Receiving Money From Western Union Using Paymaya

To receive money from Western Union, one main requirement is to update your existing Paymaya account (download and create an account if you still don’t have it). Don’t worry, it’s so easy. Just click on Upgrade button, fill out important fields and upload a Valid ID card. You can then schedule a video call from their customer service agent or if you can’t wait, feel free to click the Call button. It took me around 10 minutes for the whole process. It could have been quicker if only the ID I uploaded was the plastic card one and not the laminated. Their agents were very accommodating so everything ran smoothly for me. All I needed to do was to answer all their questions about my basic personal info and then they took a photo of me during the video call. That was it and my Paymaya was upgraded.

I then proceeded to receive the money sent to me and I tell you, it really was easy! The photos below show the steps I followed and in less than 5 minutes, I received a text from Paymaya about the successful transaction. All you need is the MTCN from Western Union (the sender should give it to you) and the name of the sender.

Hooray! Now I’m ready to pay bills and shop online! There was no need for me to go to Western Union, thus, I was able to save time. This is indeed a very helpful feature especially for those who receive money from their relatives abroad.
