sanctions on Russia affecting US banking

Postby gavilan » Thu Mar 03, 2022 1:19 pm

I have an American pension paid into an American bank ... every month I use Western Union to transfer some of that money to needy family in UK ... tried to do that yesterday ... WU suddenly imposed a limit on transfers ... fine to transfer money to Spain but did not like UK! ... anyone else experiencing similar probs?

Did they say it was because of the Russian invasion? I cant see US money limits being because of the current situation in Ukraine.
