Hey all!,

If i open a WU account and i want to pick up my earned money. Will they ask for my ID? Because i'm not 18 yet and i would like to have WU as extra payment method. Got now only a verified PayPal. My country: The Netherlands. I will pick it up at a GWK Travelex

 

I believe you must show some form of ID when you pick up money.

 

You dont need to be 18, and yes a Passport or driver licence is a must if you dont have ID. Also student cards and such are not supported by WU, at least in my country.

 

Drivers license and passport are ID. I think if they put a test question and give you the answer you don't need ID, however there is a limit to how big the transaction can be.

 

Im talking about THE ID, ofc these documents are your ids also.

 

You dont need to be 18 and you need ID, you could even have the person send to ur mom's name and pick it up with ur mom.

 

thanks for all the info guys . but if i don't have to be 18 why is there than in there policy that i have to be 18? or can i just pick it up with my ID card when im only 14 now?

 

I'm pretty sure they dont worry about the age to much but just that you have the right identification

 

Okay, so WU is better/safer than PP? And i can just pick it up?

 

btw can i also just pick up all my payments like once a month? so i dont have to go for every single payment to the GWK Travelex

 

1 last thing. they wont catch me if a register as 18 years old?

 

You only need to be 18 to send the money. You can receive it with proper identification.

 

Okay, Thanks i created an account but there i have to identificate my self after 2 transactions. So i still have to be 18? Causz my parents don't want that i do it on their names.

 

Figured everything out, thanks for the help everyone !

 

Can u pick up your payments like once a month? Does it let you no online if you have money waiting so you don't have to drive down to check?

Thanks

 

I believe there's a $2500 receiving limit. You pick the cash up at an agent, they provide a number that you must fill out when picking up the cash, along with some other information. This number can be checked online for when looking to see if the money's ready for pick-up.

 

yeah id maybe proof of adress not sure but defo id
