About the event

Money transfer services - For all intents and purposes

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT

The Money Polo brand is pushing forward! The service is growing every day and now covers over 85 countries where you can profitably make both large and small transactions. There are 25 000 cities where you can use Money Polo services. Our service allows you to make transactions without any assistance via payment terminals or on Money Polo website.

It all has started in 2008 with the ideas and ambitions of the British company UWCFS. In 2011, the success of its internet money transfer services allowed UWCFS to launch a separate cash transfer brand named Money Polo in the UK and the Czech Republic. The Czech branch took after UWCFS’s leadership and offers all the advantages of online and offline transfers.

The Money Polo service has developed into a worldwide cash transfer network, incorporating the greatest money transfer systems; in 2012, it plans to open in Slovakia and Poland.

A 2% or less commission fee for money transfers is not the only competitive advantage Money Polo offers. Consumer service is key. Money Polo takes care of every client and every bank note, regardless of the transferred amount. The technology of “adressless” (the transfer made without address specification) transfers supported by Money Polo proves our individual attention to our clients. Also, UWCFS is planning to launch commission-free transfers between the Czech Republic and United Kingdom via Money Polo offices.

We are glad to be useful, so we work on Saturdays and most holidays to process your money orders. Our online services are available 24 hours a day. To transfer money at the office, you need to come with the cash amount to be sent and your passport. You will then need to communicate the transfer number to the recipient. For online money transfer, you need to register at this website, confirm your identity by providing us with the necessary documents, top up your UWCFS account with a credit card or bank transfer, and process the order online. For payment terminals in the Czech Republic and for our special offers, it is vital to have a Money Polo client card. As soon as the recipient provides us with the transfer number, we are ready to pay out the transferred money.

Every second our service is in action, it progresses and develops, becoming more competitive.

New Horizons: Money Transfers between Prague and CIS

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Two months ago, it was impossible to transfer money between Prague and members of the CIS with a commission fee less than 10%. In the past, important players of the market and other money transfer companies were not able to conduct business here resulting in very little competition. A monopoly was almost established in the region despite high demand for money transfers, especially among the expats. The only office where money transfers via the Contact system were available was closed in 2009. For Faster and Migom systems the Czech market was absolutely new. Currently, all these companies are UWCFS’s active partners. Together, they make it possible to send money online from a UWCFS account to over 40 000 offices in the CIS. When the international company UWC Financial Services launched its own money transfer brand, Money Polo, the first office was planned to open in Prague. The active agreements between UWCFS and its partners such as Migom, Faster, and Contact were instated when the Prague office was opened. The commission fee for sending $100 or € between Prague and CIS is only 2.4%. The lowest fee is 1.8%. According to the good UWCFS tradition, if a client sends more than 50 $ or €, the fee will never be more than 3%.
