Western Union Transfer on Hold for Verification
Western Union Transfer on Hold for Verification
Sent money through Western Union and expected it to be ready for pickup within minutes, but the status says it's on hold pending verification. I’ve used the service before with no issues, so I’m wondering what might trigger this and how long it usually takes to clear.
Used Western Union to send funds to a friend, same as I’ve done in the past, but this time the transfer didn’t go straight through. I saw a “pending verification” message instead of the usual ready-for-pickup status. While checking https://western-union.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html , I found that certain transactions are randomly flagged for review. I waited a few hours, and the status updated without needing to provide anything extra. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, the delay is usually short and clears up on its own.
That helped simplify things. I was reading way too much into it. Thanks for giving a clear answer without too much extra.
