Before you invest in the notes, you should carefully read the registration statement (including the exhibits thereto) of which this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part, this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and
the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. The incorporated documents
are described under "Where You Can Find More Information."
As used in this prospectus supplement, the terms "Western Union," the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to The Western
Union Company and not its consolidated subsidiaries or to The Western Union Company and all of its consolidated subsidiaries taken
as a whole, as the context requires.

INDUSTRY DATA
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus include or incorporate by reference industry and trade association
data, forecasts and information that we have prepared based, in part, upon data, forecasts and information obtained from independent
trade associations, industry publications and surveys and other independent sources available to us. Some data also are based on our
good faith estimates, which are derived from management's knowledge of the industry and from independent sources. The primary
sources for third-party industry data and forecasts are Aite Group, LLC, or "Aite," and other industry reports and articles. These
third-party publications and surveys generally state that the information included therein is believed to have been obtained from
sources believed to be reliable, but that the publications and surveys can give no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of such
information. We have not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources nor have we ascertained the underlying
economic assumptions on which such data are based. Similarly, we believe our internal research is reliable, even though such
research has not been verified by any independent sources.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
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 and represents speed, reliability, trust and convenience. As people move
and travel around the world, they are able to use the services of a well recognized brand to transfer funds. Our consumer-
to-consumer money transfer service enables people to send money around the world in minutes. As of September 30, 2012, our
services were available through a global network of approximately 510,000 agent locations in more than 200 countries and
territories, with approximately 90% of those locations outside of the United States. Each location in our agent network is capable
of providing one or more of our services, with the majority offering Western Union branded service.
Our consumer-to-business service facilitates bill payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations, including
utilities, auto finance companies, mortgage servicers, financial service providers, government agencies and other businesses.
Our business solutions service facilitates business-to-business payment solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency
transactions, mainly for small and medium size enterprises and other organizations.
The majority of our revenue comes from fees that consumers pay when they send money or make payments. In certain
consumer money transfer and business solutions transactions involving different send and receive currencies, we generate
revenue based on the difference between the exchange rate set by us to the consumer or business and the rate at which we or our
agents are able to acquire currency.
Our principal executive offices are located at 12500 East Belford Avenue, Englewood, Colorado 80112 and our telephone
number is (866) 405-5012.
