Bharat Petroleum outlets to offer MoneyGram service

India’s state-run Bharat Petroleum said it has entered into an agreement with Airwings Services, part of MoneyGram International, to offer international money transfer service in select retail outlets. “Adding MoneyGram’s money transfer service will add value to our customers and widen the array of services that we offer them,” Bharat Petroleum General Manager George Paul said. This alliance would support MoneyGram’s network expansion plans in India. “The tie-up with Bharat Petroleum is a step in this direction,” MoneyGram Regional Director Harsh Lambah said.
