The future

Revenue from our money order business grew this year, despite a continued slight decrease in the number of money orders issued.

Thanks to our numerous convenient locations and our trusted brand, we are now the single largest retailer of Western Union money transfers in Australia. Transaction volumes for this service increased by more than 40 per cent in 2005/06.

Sales of American Express® Travellers Cheques and foreign cash increased by more than 10 per cent during the 2005/06 financial year.
