Western Union in Dominica says it’s fully operational

The Western Union office is located in this building in Roseau

Western Union money transfer service in Dominica is now fully operational.

Dominica News Online (DNO) confirmed that with staff at the Western Union Office in Roseau this morning.

We were told that customers can now send and receive money via that service and that all Western Union branches on the island – Roseau, Grand Bay, Castle Bruce and Portsmouth – are fully operational.

Western Union service in Dominica had been disrupted for more than two weeks, “due to technical difficulties,” a notice on the door of Western Union office stated.

Dominica News Online (DNO) contacted the agent for Western Union in Dominica, H.H.V. Whitchurch & Co. Ltd, shortly after the service was suspended, to get an explanation for the cause of the disruption. However, we were told by the company’s marketing manager that she was unable to comment on the matter.

    AN interesting message. Please convey this message to Mr. Green/LaPlaine so he can pass on to his two girls in the US.

    It won’t be too long before that institution close so the people can learn the hard way!!! Scotia Bank and RBC are already stepping out, that one-man corrupt rogue regime slave mentality island has something hard coming their way!!!

      RBC and BNS have been trying to leave the Caribbean for years now. The move is not just in Dominica. Read your news properly. But trust us to blame the ‘one-man’.

      Its the same problem sweetheart, money transaction between Dominica and outside world getting ever more difficult because we suspected of money laundering. That’s what it is, I truly believe that and I’m sure that is also a reason why RBC closing down here. Of course the government would not want to tell us because it would cause unrest.

    That is very strange, they will not comment on the matter because they don’t want to tell customers the truth I contacted Western union in the USA and was told the service in Dominica was suspended. Now if the service was suspended you know something was wrong this is not a technical problem,………………………………………………………………………………..
