We make financial services accessible to people everywhere. More than moving money, Western Union designs and constructs easy-to-use products and services in a digital and physical financial ecosystem.

Western Union envisions a culture of global unity and boundless connection, contributing to a world where our diversity is celebrated in all its forms.

• We want every employee to feel that they belong, are treated equitably, and have the same growth opportunities.
• Our commitment is to provide an inclusive work culture that champions our teams’ unique backgrounds and perspectives while reflecting the global communities we serve.

As a global company operating in more than 200 countries and territories, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are central to who we are and an important factor in driving innovation and performance. We work to build and support a workforce that reflects the diversity of our customers and communities across the globe. We focus on bringing more diverse candidates into our organization while creating a culture of inclusion and belonging to ensure they stay, grow, and thrive.

2025 Goals

• Reach 40% women in senior management and above roles by 2025.
• Reach 25% Hispanic/Latinx and Black/ African American employees in the U.S. by 2025.

Our ERGs are executive-sponsored and employee-driven networks that connect locally and globally to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace. ERGs are critical to our DEI strategy and are essential in attracting diverse talent, developing and retaining existing talent, and supporting an inclusive culture where employees can thrive. Many ERGs lead and support various programs and events to build an inclusive workplace.

And it’s a proud tradition that continues today with the next dedicated, creative individual that joins our team - hopefully, you!

Our commitment remains to connect people through technology, adapting as their needs change, and helping them move their money to make good things happen. We take our responsibility seriously to advance equity for all to feel empowered and respected, regardless of geographical location, position, language, gender identity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or social status.

We Believe in a Brighter Future

The Western Union Foundation believes education is the surest pathway to economic opportunity. We seek to empower disadvantaged youth and migrants to succeed in today’s global economy. In 2021, the Foundation celebrated 20 years of providing opportunities for economic prosperity by investing in skill building— including scholarships— and migrant inclusion, responding in times of crisis, and enabling Western Union employees to give back to our communities. To date, more than $137 million has been given to fund projects and scholarships in 175 countries across the globe, and $20 million has been dedicated to crisis response.
