Team,
Today is an important and exciting day for Intermex. We have announced that Intermex will merge with Western Union, one of the most recognized and respected names in our industry. This news may come as a surprise, but I want you to know that it
represents a positive step for our company, our customers, and for all of you.
Why This Is Happening
Over the past 16 years, we have built Intermex into a leader in money transfer services across the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean. We have achieved this success through your hard work, your passion for our mission, and your commitment to
serving our customers with excellence.
The financial services world is changing quickly, and this partnership puts us in the best possible position for the future. By joining with Western Union, we will combine our strengths, expand our global reach, and gain the resources to
innovate and grow even faster. We believe that, together, we can accomplish things that neither company could achieve alone.
What This Means for You
We know announcements like this can raise questions. Here is what we can share at this stage:
| • |
The acquisition is anticipated to be completed by mid-2026, and we will provide updates as developments occur.
|
| • |
Daily operations will continue as they do today with the current leadership team guiding the transition.
|
| • |
Your role and reporting line are expected to remain the same during the transition period.
|
| • |
We are not aware of any immediate changes to pay or benefits. If changes are planned, we will share them clearly and with as much notice as possible.
|
| • |
Intermex will become a key brand within Western Union in the US, with the same commitment and dedication to our customers.
|
| • |
We will provide regular updates so you have the latest information as plans progress.
|
What Happens Next
The merger will move through the normal approval process, which will take time. Until it is complete, nothing changes in how we operate or serve our customers. In the coming days, we will hold town hall meetings to share more details, answer
questions, and discuss what this exciting new chapter means for us.
Looking Ahead Together
This is a proud moment for Intermex. It is recognition of everything you have helped build and a sign of the confidence Western Union has in our team, our business, and our future. This is also an opportunity for all of you to have the chance to
grow with a global company, innovate, and to make an even greater difference in the lives of the people and communities we serve.
Thank you for your dedication, teamwork, and commitment to our mission. I am proud to lead this team and I look forward to what we will accomplish together as an integral part of Western Union.
Sincerely,
Robert Lisy
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
