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.”

Pub hotel group beat luxury chains in UK guest satisfaction survey

Highlights

  • Coaching Inn Group scores 81 per cent customer satisfaction, beating Marriott and Hilton.
  • Wetherspoon Hotels named best value at £70 per night.
  • Britannia Hotels ranks bottom for 12th consecutive year with 44 per cent score.
A traditional pub hotel group has outperformed luxury international chains in the UK's largest guest satisfaction survey, while one major operator continues its decade-long streak at the bottom of the rankings.
The Coaching Inn Group, comprising 36 relaxed inn-style hotels in historic buildings across beauty spots and market towns, achieved the highest customer score of 81per cent among large chains in Which?'s annual hotel survey. The group earned five stars for customer service and accuracy of descriptions, with guests praising its "lovely locations and excellent food and service.
"The survey, conducted amongst 4,631 guests, asked respondents to rate their stays across eight categories including cleanliness, customer service, breakfast quality, bed comfort and value for money. At an average £128 per night, Coaching Inn demonstrated that mid-range pricing with consistent quality appeals to British travellers.
J D Wetherspoon Hotels claimed both the Which? Recommended Provider status (WRPs) and Great Value badge for the first time, offering rooms at just £70 per night while maintaining four-star ratings across most categories. Guests described their stays as "clean, comfortable and good value.
"Among boutique chains, Hotel Indigo scored 79 per cent with its neighbourhood-inspired design, while InterContinental achieved 80per cent despite charging over £300 per night, and the chain missed WRP status for this reason.

Budget brands decline

However, Premier Inn, long considered Britain's reliable budget choice, lost its recommended status this year. Despite maintaining comfortable beds, guests reported "standards were slipping" and prices "no longer budget levels" at an average £94 per night.

The survey's biggest disappointment remains Britannia Hotels, scoring just 44 per cent and one star for bedroom and bathroom quality. This marks twelve consecutive years at the bottom, with guests at properties like Folkestone's Grand Burstin calling it a total dive.
