Total Wireless announced a partnership with Western Union to bring a first-of-its-kind benefit to wireless customers. Starting today, customers on the Total Wireless MAX 5G BYO, MAX 5G and ALL ACCESS plans will receive one money transfer per month on us. With the ability to send funds to more than 200 countries and territories through Western Union's global network, customers can stay connected in more ways than one.

The companies state: "The Western Union Company (WU) and International Money Express (IMXI) provided an update on the approval process and timeline for Western Union's pending acquisition of Intermex. To date, money transmission regulators in 51 applicable U.S. states and territories and in all international jurisdictions have provided their approval of or non-objection to the acquisition, and approval or non-objection is currently pending from one U.S. state. Western Union and Intermex remain actively engaged in discussions with regulators, including the New York State Department of Financial Services, to obtain the final regulatory approval. Western Union and Intermex anticipate closing the transaction as soon as reasonably practicable upon receipt of such approval as well as satisfaction of other customary closing conditions."

Bybit and Western Union announced that its users can now access USDPT, a US dollar-denominated stablecoin issued by Anchorage Digital Bank on the Solana blockchain, via Bybit's fiat channels. This integration makes Bybit the first major crypto exchange to join Western Union's global USDPT network.
