The good thing about receiving money at UMB is that when you receive money into your account, you have 24\/7 access to it via our top-of-the-range mobile banking app, the UMB SpeedApp.<\/p>\n<p>This means that when Wofa Yaw, or Wofa Kojo sends you money from \u2018abrokyire\u2019 for instance an emergency where you need to pay your hospital bills at 2am at dawn, with UMB, that money can directly hit your account and with UMB SpeedApp, you can make that payment easily.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outlining the various remittance channels available at the Bank, Mr. Sam Donkor, General Manager, Virtual and Transactional Banking said, \u201cWe have seven remittance services at the bank including, reactivating our relationship with MoneyGram this month. We know Ghanaians abroad typically send a lot of money around this period for Ramadan and Easter. We are also aware that quite a number of Ghanaians get windfalls on their tax rebates in countries like the USA, and always like to send some of these monies back home to Ghana. We stand ready to support them with our world-class remittance services. These services include Ria, Vigo, Western Union, MoneyGram, Hello Paisa, Unity Link\/World Remit, Transfast, IMT and Small World Financial Services\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_post_source\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Source:<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tUniversal Merchant Bank (UMB)\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customers have been advised to use established remittance channels in receiving money from abroad during the holy seasons of Easter and Ramadan.
