In a rather unusual way, Western Union has shown and offered its support to the Flood Victims of Pakistan. They have waived the transfer fee they charge on money transfers to Pakistan for a full one month, from 12th August to 12th September. See this Western Union Announcement. They are offering this facility from United States, United Kingdom and select countries in the Middle East including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates from select Agent locations.
In addition, they are also going to contribute $100,000 for disaster relief efforts to help provide basic human relief efforts such as safe drinking water, access to sanitation facilities, clothing and temporary shelter through International Rescue Committee (IRC) response teams actively working in Pakistan.
If you are going to send donations to Pakistan during these dates, it is well worth considering Western Union.
Thank you very much Western Union. This was just the sort of thing we needed from a financial institution. It is highly appreciated.
