Great comment. We have a truly world-class Compliance team, that uses advanced technology to ensure customers can transfer money securely in over 200 countries. Partnering with law enforcement is part of that process. We welcome people with law enforcement or military background to apply. Regarding our location, we love being headquartered in Denver, Colorado (recently ranked as the #1 place to live in the U.S. by US News). However, we do have employees working in over 50 different countries globally, including offices in San Francisco, Miami, London, Hong Kong, Dubai, etc.

We are glad to have you on the WU team. The purpose driven aspect of what we do definitely resonates with people working here. Once you join the company and see firsthand how much people rely on our services (for education, housing, medical services, etc.), the "moving money for better" tagline becomes real. Good call-out on the long-term vision. Please continue to reinforce a long-term perspective on your team at WU, and let others know if you feel areas drift too much into short-term thinking.
