It's supposed to the be easiest and fastest way of transferring funds from one country to another. Basically all you need here in order to receive cash transferred to you is an ID and the control no. as well as the name and address of the sender.
However if it is your first time to receive funds via Western Union, they will give you additional requirements like two IDs and you will be asked to fill out a form which is not a breeze.
Personally though it is the coolest way of getting paid. Money will be in your hands in a matter of minutes.
