About this Western Union Receipt

What it is

A Western Union receipt is the record of a money transfer sent through Western Union, whether at an agent location, online, or in the app. Its centerpiece is the MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number), a 10-digit tracking code, alongside the amount sent, fees, exchange rate for international transfers, and the sender and receiver details.

Why you may need it

The receipt is essential for the receiver to collect the money: pickup usually requires the MTCN plus ID. Senders keep it to track the transfer, request refunds on uncollected transfers, document remittances sent to family, and support records for larger transfers that may need to be traced.

Key fields

  • MTCN (10-digit Money Transfer Control Number)
  • Send amount and currency
  • Transfer fee and total collected
  • Exchange rate and payout amount for international sends
  • Sender name and contact details
  • Receiver name and destination country/city
  • Date, time, and agent location or channel

Tips

  • Use a 10-digit MTCN, the single most recognizable element of a Western Union receipt
  • Break out the transfer fee separately from the send amount
  • For international transfers, show the exchange rate and the payout amount in the destination currency
  • Include the agent location line for in-person sends

Receipt anatomy

MTCN
The 10-digit Money Transfer Control Number. The receiver needs it (plus ID) to pick up the money, and it is how a transfer is tracked or traced.
Send amount and fee
The principal being sent and Western Union's transfer fee, totaled as the amount collected from the sender.
Exchange rate
On international transfers, the rate applied and the resulting payout amount in the destination currency. The rate margin is part of the cost of the transfer.
Sender and receiver
Full names on both ends. The receiver's name must match their ID at pickup, which is why spelling matters.
Destination
The receiving country and, for cash pickup, the expected payout location or network.
Date and channel
When and where the transfer was initiated: an agent location, westernunion.com, or the app.
