Western Union has just completed the acquisition of Dash, Singapore's digital wallet. That's pretty interesting — it's the first digital wallet the company has in the Asia-Pacific region, part of their expansion plan. Dash has about 1.4 million users there and offers everything from bill payments to international remittances and investments. Basically, now Western Union can connect Dash's local user base with their global network, which operates in over 200 countries. Vince Tallent, who oversees the region for Western Union, said that this combination will make services much smoother for people in Singapore. They didn't disclose how much they paid, but it seems like a well-calculated strategic move. Do you think this integration will succeed?
