How do I use the tracking number (MTCN)?
A unique tracking number (MTCN) will be generated for every Western Union transfer. Whether you’re sending internationally from wu.com to a bank account or sending across the country from an agent location to a friend or family member, it’s important to keep your tracking number (MTCN) safe.
Your receiver will need the tracking number (MTCN) to pick up the money. They’ll also need a government-issued ID to prove they’re the correct receiver. For your protection, don’t share the tracking number (MTCN), or any other details about your transfer with anyone other than the intended receiver.
