Starting March 2011, the international money transfer service will connect Seven Bank’s account holders to Western Union’s global network of more than 400,000 agent locations in 200 countries and territories.

The ABMT service enables the SPD Bank account holders to send Western Union money transfers directly from their accounts via online banking or their mobile phones for cash payout at Western Union agent locations in 200 countries.
