How It Works in Trinavo
MoneyGram functions as a wallet method in Trinavo, supporting both deposits and withdrawals:
For wallet deposits: The customer sends a MoneyGram transfer to the merchant's designated details and provides the transaction reference number as proof. The merchant verifies the receipt of funds and credits the corresponding amount to the customer's store wallet.
For wallet withdrawals: When a withdrawal is requested, the merchant initiates a MoneyGram transfer to the recipient. The recipient picks up the funds at a MoneyGram agent location using the reference number and valid identification.
Supported Regions and Currencies
MoneyGram operates in over 200 countries and supports transfers in numerous local currencies. Its particularly strong presence in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia makes it a practical choice for stores serving diverse international markets.
