BBK and Western Union make money transfers possible at Bahrain's Post Office locations.

During 2005, BBK, launched the Western Union international money transfer services via 6 of the Kingdom's post office locations.  This first of its kind initiative meant that customers could send money in minutes* via the Western Union  network of over 245,000 Agent locations across 200 countries and territories worldwide.

In view of the success of this service provision at Bahrain Post locations, BBK in its capacity as a Western Union Authorized Agent has extended certification to five more post office locations in 2006. As such, customers can transfer money from Manama, Muharraq, Isa Town, Budaiya, Adliya, The Bahrain Mall, Sitra, Riffa, Hidd, Diplomatic Area, or Central Market Bahrain Post locations. 

Each of the post offices has been provided with the necessary system capabilities and training required to provide the highest level of service.  The ease of money transfers via Western Union is built upon:

·          Speed

·          A unique worldwide network

·          The convenience of over 245,000 Agent locations, from which customers can easily send or receive money

·          The fact that no membership or bank account is necessary to use this service
