Seoul, South Korea, Feb. 18 (Korea Bizwire) — MoneyGram (NASDAQ:MGI), a leading global money transfer company, has renewed its agreement with Kyongnam Bank, a leading bank in South Korea, to continue to provide money transfer services at the bank’s one hundred and fifty (150) locations throughout South Korea. Kyongnam Bank has been a MoneyGram agent for nearly ten (10) years.
“We have a very strong service-oriented relationship with MoneyGram that benefits our customers and our employees,” said Mr. Kim Chang Hyo, General Manager of International Trade Business Department of Kyongnam Bank. “Speed, convenience, reliability and value are important considerations for money transfer consumers, and they are priorities for MoneyGram.
