What ID do I need to send money home to the Philippines through Western Union in Port Louis?
In Port Louis, Mauritius, you must present a valid government-issued photo ID — passport, national ID, or driver's licence — plus your recipient's full legal name in the Philippines, the exact amount, the receiving country (Philippines), and proof of address if your transfer exceeds Western Union's reporting threshold in Mauritius. You'll receive a reference number (MTCN for Western Union, Reference Number for MoneyGram and Ria) to share privately with your family.
How long does a Western Union transfer from Port Louis to the Philippines take?
Western Union cash-pickup transfers from Port Louis, Mauritius to the Philippines typically arrive within minutes once you complete payment. Bank-deposit transfers to BDO, BPI, Metrobank, Landbank and other Philippine banks may take 1–2 business days. Pickup is available immediately at any Western Union agent across the Philippines during local business hours.
Is it safe for OFWs in Port Louis to send money via Western Union in 2026?
Yes — Western Union is a licensed money transfer operator regulated both in Mauritius and in the Philippines by the BSP. To stay safe, only share your reference number with the intended recipient back home, verify the recipient's full legal name matches their Philippine ID, and avoid sending money to people you haven't personally verified.
