To send or receive money at an Agent location, Western Union does not require credit cards, bank accounts, memberships or citizenship papers. Receivers in India may need to show a currently valid government-issued photo ID. Additional information may be necessary to meet government requirements depending on the amount being sent or received. To send money online, you will need a U.S.- or Canadian-based Visa® or MasterCard® credit or debit card. To send money via 1-800-CALL-CASHSM, you will need a U.S.- or Canadian based Visa®, MasterCard® or Discover® credit or debit card.
