Oct 17, 2013 (Thu): In collaboration with Lottomatica and MasterCard, Western Union has launched My WU reloadable prepaid card in Italy. With My WU prepaid card, migrant workers in Italy who do not have bank accounts have the ability to send money transfers, receive direct deposits from their employers, make retail purchases in shops and online outlets that accept MasterCard as well as to withdraw money from ATMs across Italy.
My WU cardholders are allowed to fund Western Union Money Transfer transactions using their cards through Lottomatica Carta Lis, a leading provider of lottery and gaming technology solutions worldwide, operates in Italy.
