How to receive money from Western Union in Nepal
Last verified 1 September 2026 Not a WU locator
western union nepal ranks the official home and a local pack. This page is the collect job: MTCN, ID, cash or account. IME, Prabhu, and eSewa Money Transfer use the same pattern with their own control number.
What you need at the counter
MTCN + government IDCash, a Nepal bank credit, or a wallet payout where the product allows it. We do not invent a fee per $100.
Bank
Some partners (Nabil has posted WU-to-account). Confirm with the receiving bank. Not every MTCN is an account credit.
Wallet
IME Pay / eSewa / Khalti when that operator’s product pays into the wallet. That is payout, not “eSewa works in India”.
Operators we name, not clone
| Rail | Official | On this page |
|---|---|---|
| Western Union | westernunion.com/np | Receive steps. Locator stays on WU. |
| IME Remit | imeremit.com.np/track-transaction | Control number. “IME tracking” also collides with phone IMEI. |
| Prabhu Money Transfer | prabhumoneytransfer.com.np | Cash, account, card. Unpaid / paid / cancelled on their tracker. |
| eSewa Money Transfer | esewamoneytransfer.com | NRB-licensed remit company — not the wallet on site 03. |
If you are the sender abroad
send money to nepal on Google Nepal still ranks Wise, WorldRemit, and Western Union origin pages. This site does not quote a live payout. NRB buy/sell for USD is site 04. India senders: the corridor page.
Hundi

Questions on this SERP
Is Western Union available in Nepal?
Yes, as a payout network through licensed partners. Collect with MTCN and ID. Near-me results belong to WU’s locator.
How do I receive a Western Union money transfer?
Sender gives you the MTCN. Bring government ID. Cash at a partner, or bank/wallet if that product was chosen.
How much does Western Union charge per $100?
This page does not print a number. WU quotes are live and corridor-specific. NRB’s USD sheet is a different rate (site 04).
Which app can I use to receive money from Western Union?
Partner bank or wallet apps where WU pays in. There is no Dhani789 receive app.
What is the easiest way to send money from India to Nepal?
That job is on the Nepal–India page: UPI reverse, IME India agents, or SBI/PNB Indo-Nepal — not a WU $100 guess.
