MoneyGram International is extending its special pricing of US$1 or equivalent for money transfers to Haiti from its 186,000 locations through Jan. 31. Forty of its money-transfer agent locations in Haiti are operational and able to receive transfers, including three in Port-au-Prince and five others in surrounding cities.
MoneyGram service in Haiti consists of about 130 agent locations operated by Unibank, Rapid Transfe, Fonkoze and Grace Trading. More than half of these locations are within affected areas.
"We are working as hard as we can to help restore the flow of funds to the Haitian people," said Dan O'Malley, executive vice president of the Americas at MoneyGram. "As the recovery progresses, more agent locations will come online again."
Customers can also use the Red Cross code 3886 to send a donation to the American Red Cross at any MoneyGram ExpressPayment U.S. agent location until Feb. 13.
