This inauguration was made in the presence of Frederic Simon, Regional Vice President for Europe, and Christian Traversini, Director Southern Europe, together with Jenny Pace, Country Manager in Malta.

Western Union Business Solutions has a history of over 160 years of connecting people and over 140 years experience of moving funds globally.

In 2011, Western Union acquired Travelex Global Business Payments and in Malta the entity change was made in 2012.

Western Union Business Solutions enables companies of all sizes to send and receive cross-border payments and manage foreign exchange  with expertise in moving funds across the globe. It operates through locally licensed affiliates in more than 30 countries.

Minister Scicluna said that today there is a stronger sense of tax morality, where the man in the street expects companies and big firms to pay their taxes just as taxpayers do.
