It would depend on the fees. If cheaper than the Visa debit card/gift card, it might work. And Western Unions might be more places than Shopper realizes - I think there is one in my grocery store.

I'm not going to drive to a Western Union to make a transaction. I purchase online because it is quick and easy. If I'm out, I'd rather shop at a retail store than go to a Western Union and get charged extra fees. IMO a big waste of time and I do not have time to look for a western union. I'm glad I did my shopping at Amazon last week. I guess I won’t be shopping at Amazon anymore. I’m not going to drive to a Western Union to make a transaction.

The rising of number of data breaches has been causing concern for millions of people. Could be a heck of an opportunity for Western Union as well. It’s an interesting idea.
