Introducing Tesco's new MoneyGram® services

When you need a safe and secure way of sending money overseas, why not visit your nearest Tesco store that offers the MoneyGram® service.

There are currently over 800 Tesco stores across the UK which offer the MoneyGram® service, giving customers a safe, fast and efficient way to send money overseas. There are 200 countries worldwide where money can be sent including Romania, Bulgaria, Poland and Ghana.


Our fully trained and knowledgeable staff are on hand to help guide you through the process and to answer any questions you may have. Our stores are open late in the evening and at weekends, which means you can send or receive money at a time which suits you.

In addition to the service we currently offer, we are pleased to now also provide Cash to Account or Mobile Wallet functionality. This addition to our service means you can now send money directly to an individual’s bank account or mobile wallet, reducing the need for friends or loved ones to visit a receive location in order to access the cash which is sent.

As an extra little help to customers, you can collect 50 Tesco Clubcard points every time you send £50 or more in a single transaction. To collect your points, all you need to do is present your Clubcard at the time of your transaction.

David McCreadie, from Tesco Bank said, “We know there are lots of reasons why people need and want to send money overseas, which is why we are delighted to offer the MoneyGram® service within our stores. In the last year, we helped over 80,000 customers to send money to different countries around the world. This service is just another little help from Tesco Bank.”

Almost 300,000 families and individuals across England are now experiencing the worst forms of homelessness, including rough sleeping, unsuitable temporary accommodation and living in tents, according to new research from Crisis.
