ZITRO, the newest member of the Western Union family
ZITRO International Limited, a financial services company that was started in June of 2009, has joined the hundreds of thousands of Western Union agents around the world. The partnership started nine months ago and today representatives from Western Union International flew in for the launch of operations at the new agent on Freetown Road. The ZITRO Western Union branch will be providing services that range from money transfers to bill collecting. News Five attended the launch where ZITRO was welcomed to the Western Union Family.

“Remittances are a large or actually the reason why Western Union is here. It’s a large part of who we are and what we do. We have over three hundred and sixty-four thousand locations throughout the world to see to the needs of remittances senders and receivers worldwide in over two hundred countries and we know how important it is to be involved in the communities that we serve. ZITRO is a great example of an organization that’s a forward thinking, customer centered company, the kind of company with whom we like to associate and we know that together we will be able to do a fantastic job in reaching out to and delivering the needs of consumers here in Belize. And it is a pleasure to welcome ZITRO to the world of Western Union and the world of Western Union master agents worldwide, again in over two hundred countries.”
Silvano Guerrero, Manager, ZITRO
“ZITRO is excited to be an authorized agent of Western Union International and will do our utmost best to live up to and exceed the standards of Western Union International, its regulators and our valued customers. Today, as we launch our services we are already in the process of establishing sub-offices across the country. We aim to make our office a one stop location for sending and receiving of funds, as well as the payment of bills and the provision of services as an internet café. Western Union has been operating in Belize for over eighteen years and we anticipate that we will be here as long as our customers need our services.”
The new Western Union agency is at the core of ZITRO’s operations.
