Western Union ( (WU) ) has provided an update.
On January 9, 2026, Western Union entered into an unsecured delayed draw term loan credit agreement providing access to an $800 million term loan facility with a syndicate of international banks, which allows the company to draw funds from the closing date through July 8, 2026 and potentially increase total commitments up to $1 billion, subject to additional lender commitments. The proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes, including debt refinancing and permitted acquisitions, and the facility includes customary financial and operational covenants—such as limits on asset sales, liens, subsidiary indebtedness and dividend restrictions, plus an interest coverage ratio requirement—with interest and ticking fees set on a ratings-based sliding scale and a final maturity three years after the initial funding date, reinforcing Western Union’s balance-sheet flexibility and funding options.
