Our Company
The Western Union Company is a leader in global money movement and payment services, providing people and businesses with fast,
reliable and convenient ways to send money and make payments around the world. The Western Union® brand is globally recognized. As of
September 30, 2019, our services were primarily available through a network of agent locations in more than 200 countries and territories and
through online money transfer transactions conducted and funded through Western Union branded websites and mobile apps
("westernunion.com"). Each location in our agent network is capable of providing one or more of our services.
Our business consists of the following segments:
? Consumer-to-Consumer - Our Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers between two consumers,
primarily through a network of third-party agents. We view our multi-currency money transfer service as one interconnected global
network where a money transfer can be sent from one location to another, around the world. This service is available for international
cross-border transfers and, in certain countries, intra-country transfers. This segment also includes money transfer transactions that can
be initiated through websites and mobile devices.

? Business Solutions - Our Business Solutions operating segment facilitates payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-
border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises and other organizations and individuals. The majority of the
segment's business relates to exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enable customers to make cross-currency payments. In
addition, in certain countries, we write foreign currency forward and option contracts for customers to facilitate future payments.
All businesses and other services that have not been classified in the above segments are reported as Other, which primarily includes our
cash-based and electronic-based bill payment services which facilitate payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations. In
May 2019, we sold a substantial majority of our United States based electronic bill payment services. Our money order and other services, in
addition to certain corporate costs such as costs related to strategic initiatives, including costs for the review and closing of mergers,
acquisitions and divestitures, are also included in Other.

We believe that brand strength, size and reach of our global network, convenience, reliability and value for the price paid have been
important to the growth of our business. As we continue to seek to meet the needs of our customers for fast, reliable and convenient global
money movement and payment services, with a continued focus on regulatory compliance, we are also working to provide consumers and our
business clients with access to an expanding portfolio of payment and other financial services and to expand the ways our services can be
accessed.
Our principal executive offices are located at 7001 East Belleview Avenue Denver, Colorado 80237 and our telephone number is (866)
405-5012.

Recent Developments
Concurrently with this offering, we are conducting a cash tender offer, referred to herein as the "tender offer," for any and all of our
outstanding 5.253% notes due 2020 (the "2020 notes"). As of September 30, 2019, we had $324.9 million aggregate principal amount of 2020
notes outstanding. The tender offer commenced on November 18, 2019 and is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
November 22, 2019, subject to our right to extend the tender offer. The tender offer is being made pursuant to an offer to purchase dated as
of November 18, 2019 and related notice of guaranteed delivery issued in connection with the tender offer.
The closing of this offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the tender offer. The closing of the tender offer, however, is conditioned
on, among other things, the terms of this offering being reasonably satisfactory to us, the proceeds of which will be sufficient to finance the
repurchase of the 2020 notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer. See "Use of Proceeds" in this prospectus
supplement. This prospectus supplement relates only to the notes being offered hereby and is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an
offer to sell any 2020 notes. We cannot assure you that the tender offer will be consummated in accordance with its terms, or at all, or that a
significant principal amount of the 2020 notes will be retired and cancelled pursuant to the tender offer.
We expect to exercise our right under the indenture governing the 2020 notes to optionally redeem any and all of the 2020 notes not
purchased by us in the tender offer at the applicable redemption price, although we have no legal obligation to do so and the selection of any
particular redemption date is in our discretion. This offering is not conditioned upon the consummation of the redemption and this prospectus
supplement shall not constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the 2020 notes. Any such notice, if made, will only be
made in accordance with the provisions of such indenture.
In connection with the tender offer, we have retained Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC as dealer managers.

____________________
(a) On May 9, 2019, we completed the sale of our United States electronic bill payments business known as Speedpay to ACI Worldwide
Corp. and ACW Worldwide, Inc., for cash consideration of approximately $750 million. For the nine months ended September 30,
2019 and 2018, Speedpay revenues were $125.4 million and $267.7 million, respectively.
(b)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, operating expenses included $98.9 million of expenses incurred in connection with an
overall restructuring plan, approved by the Board of Directors on August 1, 2019, to improve our business processes and cost structure
by reducing headcount and consolidating various facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, Speedpay direct
operating expenses were $98.2 million and $189.7 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017, operating expenses
included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $464.0 million related to our Business Solutions reporting unit, and $60.0 million
of expenses related to a January 4, 2018 consent order which resolved a matter with the New York State Department of Financial
Services (the "NYDFS Consent Order"). For the year ended December 31, 2016, operating expenses included $601.0 million of
expenses as a result of our settlement agreements with the United States Department of Justice, certain United States Attorneys'
Offices, the United States Federal Trade Commission, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the United States Department of
Treasury, and various state attorneys general (the "Joint Settlement Agreements"). For the year ended December 31, 2015, operating
expenses included $35.3 million of expenses as a result of a settlement agreement reached in July 2015 between Paymap, Inc.,
previously a subsidiary of Western Union ("Paymap"), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding Paymap's marketing
of its "Equity Accelerator" service.
(c)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a pre-tax gain primarily related to our May 9, 2019 sale of Speedpay to
ACI Worldwide Corp. and ACW Worldwide, Inc.
(d)
Interest income consists of interest earned on cash and other investments not required to satisfy settlement obligations.
(e)
Interest expense primarily relates to our outstanding borrowings.
(f)
For the year ended December 31, 2017, our provision for income taxes included an estimated $828 million related to the enactment of
United States tax reform legislation in December 2017 (the "Tax Act"), primarily due to a tax on certain previously undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and other tax balances to
reflect the lower federal income tax rate, among other effects. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we completed our accounting
for the Tax Act's impacts that were provisionally estimated as of December 31, 2017 and recorded an additional $22.5 million of
income tax expense.
(g)
Net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2018 was negatively impacted by approximately $120
million of payments related to an agreement with the IRS resolving substantially all of the issues related to our restructuring of our
international operations in 2003, $64 million of payments related to tax on certain of our previously undistributed foreign earnings
associated with the Tax Act, a $60 million payment related to the NYDFS Consent Order and payments related to a business
transformation initiative. Net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2017 was impacted by cash
payments of $591 million pursuant to the Joint Settlement Agreements and payments related to a business transformation initiative.
(h)
Capital expenditures include capitalization of contract costs, capitalization of purchased and developed software and purchases of
property and equipment.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the notes is subject to various risks. These risks should be considered carefully with the information provided elsewhere and
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before deciding to invest in the notes, including the risk
factors incorporated by reference herein from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as updated by the annual,
quarterly and other reports and documents that we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus supplement and that are incorporated by
reference herein or in the accompanying prospectus. In addition, please read the information included or incorporated by reference under
"Forward-Looking Statements" in this prospectus supplement for a description of additional uncertainties associated with our business, results of
operations and financial condition and the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus.
Risks Relating to the Notes
We are a holding company that conducts all of our business through subsidiaries. The debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries will be
effectively senior to the notes.
We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries. Our cash flow and, consequently, our ability to pay interest and to service our debt,
including the notes, are dependent upon the cash flow of our subsidiaries and the payment of funds to us by those subsidiaries in the form of loans,
dividends or otherwise. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any
amounts due on the notes or to make cash available for that purpose. In addition, many of our operating subsidiaries are highly regulated and may
be subject to restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to us. These subsidiaries may use the earnings they generate, as well as their existing
assets, to fulfill any existing or future direct debt service requirements.
The notes will be The Western Union Company's senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of its existing
and future senior unsecured obligations. The notes will be effectively junior to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our
subsidiaries, which means that creditors of our subsidiaries will be paid from their assets before holders of the notes would have any claims to
those assets. As of September 30, 2019, our subsidiaries had outstanding approximately $335 million of total indebtedness, including letters of
credit and bank guarantees but excluding intercompany indebtedness, and may incur additional debt in the future. See "Description of the Notes--
General--Ranking."
There are no covenants in the indenture governing the notes relating to our ability to incur future indebtedness or pay dividends and limited
restrictions on our ability to engage in other activities, which could adversely affect our ability to pay our obligations under the notes.
The indenture governing the notes does not contain any financial covenants. The indenture permits us and, with respect to the notes, our
subsidiaries, to incur additional debt, including, subject to certain requirements, secured debt. Because the notes are unsecured, in the event of any
liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding regarding us, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of our
secured debt will be entitled to receive payment to the extent of the assets securing that debt before we can make any payment with respect to the
notes. If any of the foregoing events occurs, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on our debt and the notes.
As a result, you may receive less than you are entitled to receive or recover nothing if any liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, bankruptcy or
other similar proceeding occurs.
S-11
The indenture does not limit our or our subsidiaries' ability to issue or repurchase securities, pay dividends or engage in transactions with
affiliates. Our ability to use our funds for numerous purposes may limit the funds available to pay our obligations under the notes.
There may not be a public market for the notes.
The notes constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to list the notes on any securities exchange
or to include the notes in any automated quotation system. Accordingly, no market for the notes may develop, and any market that develops may
