Case Study: Western Union achieves instant, spendable remittances with Rain

Western Union launches instant remittances in seconds with Rain

Rain, a provider of stablecoin infrastructure, partnered with Western Union to address the challenge of traditional remittances moving through costly intermediaries and multi-day settlement cycles. This process created delays and friction for recipients who often relied on cash-out locations.

By implementing Rain's infrastructure, Western Union gained the ability to offer instant settlement and card-linked spending. This solution enables remittance recipients to spend funds instantly on cards as soon as they are received, reducing reliance on cash and keeping value within the ecosystem longer. The result is a better user experience and a stronger economic loop for the network.
