With so many Western Union Agent locations, it’s easy to add money and reload the card. My husband and I have been experiencing the inconvenience of having one of our banks being quite a distance from our home. When we moved to Florida from the Washington DC area, we found out our bank branch was going to be a 45 minute drive from our new residence. It has been a logistical hassle to try and accomplish any in-branch related services. Like most banks, using non-authorized ATMs will incur extra fees.
