Western Union cash to bank transfer

[bizman]

Will they accept your 7000 euro and pay them to any account of your choice?

Say I need to send someone in the Netherlands 7000 to his bank account, I only have them in cash and can't go there, would I be able to send them with western union to his bank account?

Agent will ask for source.

also if you keep the amount below 10K Euro ?

Western Union is successfully used by money launderers all the time. Their KYC procedures are notoriously poor. But 7,000 EUR is much more than their average transaction so expect enhanced due diligence, including source of funds check.

also if you keep the amount below 10K Euro ?

Yes. The global average is under 400 dollars.

They can be useful if your business coincides with global human migration trends.

Probably if you are involved with human trafficking, as it’s easier to launder money through WU than crypto

for example if you are in the US, you can send $980 without any documents (with fake names) on the "atm" cash machine at the pharmacies and you can also send it to your bank accounts. I don't know what it's like in Europe!

Looks like Western Union is a good and valid service for what I was looking for. Will have to setup an account or find a shop to drop in.

if you have cash and you dont want to use your ID, you have to register on WU website, complete the form, chose cash on location to bank , you go to pharmacy, you give your fake phone number that you put on registration and you send maximum 1000 without any documents
sorry for my broke english

What is the limit to send EUR from an Asian country to Western European country in EUR. Will this be reported in the beneficiaries country and if so from which amount? The proof of source of the funds is no problem nor any reporting in the country of the sender, the beneficiary wishes to have no reporting.
