Western Union not working? Try these fixes
- If a payment seems stuck, don't send it again. Check your transaction history first.
- Card and bank transfers can be delayed by the bank, not the app. Check both.
- Make sure the app is updated; payment apps often require the latest version.
- Try another device or network, for example mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.
- Hard-refresh the page (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R) or open it in a private window.
- Flush your DNS cache, or switch your DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
- Turn off your VPN, ad blocker or other browser extensions and try again.
Questions
Is Western Union down right now?
We checked Western Union just now and it was up. The server answered with HTTP 301 in 232 ms.
Why is Western Union not working for me?
If our check shows Western Union is up, the problem is most likely on your side: your network, DNS, browser extensions, or an outdated app. Try the steps above. If it shows down, the problem is on Western Union's end and you'll need to wait for them to fix it.
How often do you check Western Union?
Every 10 minutes, around the clock. Failed checks are retried once before they're recorded, and we keep 30 days of history.
Where do your checks come from?
From a single server in a data center. A site can be down in one region and up in another, so an outage that only affects some countries may not show up here.
