MoneyGram has signed an agreement with Univision Enterprises, a division of Univision Communications Inc., the leading media company serving Hispanic America, to create a MoneyGram link on Univision’s MasterCard Prepaid Card “Tarjeta Prepagada“ page. Through this link, Univision’s Prepaid MasterCard account holders can easily and directly connect to MoneyGram to complete money transfers and expedite bill payments using their Univision Prepaid MasterCard.
