The over 2,000 credit unions that have a relationship with Fidelity National Information Services will have the ability to offer their members remittance and wire services through Western Union, according to a partnership the two companies have announced.

FIS processes card transactions for more than 2,000 credit unions. The company also offers core processing services as well.

"FIS is excited to offer Western Union's global money transfer service to our financial institution clients, adding strategic value to a bank's portfolio of services and convenience to consumers," said Anthony Ficarra, executive vice president, FIS eBusiness. "We see Western Union as a strong and strategic fit in providing our clients and their customers with the convenience of a well-established and strong Western Union Agent network to easily transfer money to family and friends."

Once an FIS client agrees to offer Western Union's services, the financial institution will be connected to more than 334,000 Western Union Agent locations worldwide, enabling banked consumers to efficiently send money transfers in the U.S. and around the globe.

The services will include money that can be sent to individuals as well as money which can be sent from account to account.
