MTCN stands for Money Transfer Control Number, a unique identifier assigned to each money transfer. It's used to track and verify transactions.
The MTCN is usually an 8-15 digit code that's sent to the recipient along with the transfer details.
This code is generated by the sender's bank or transfer service and is used to ensure the transaction is legitimate and secure.
The MTCN is essential for recipients to access their transferred funds, and it's usually required for cash pickup or bank deposit.

Finding the MTCN
The MTCN is a crucial part of the Western Union money transfer process. It's a unique tracking number that helps you and the receiver track the transfer.

Here are the ways to access the MTCN:
- Printed on the receipt when a sender makes the transfer.

How to Use the Receiver
To use the receiver, you need to provide them with the unique Western Union tracking number, known as the MTCN, once you make the money transfer and get your receipt.
