Western Union and Intermex received regulatory approval from the New York State Department of Financial Services for the planned takeover after Western Union made commitments on money transfer services and locations in New York. By contrast, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation suspended the previously granted extension of approval and is requesting a renewed review of the transaction’s impacts in California. Western Union and Intermex said they will engage with the DFPI and intend to complete the transaction once approval is reissued, subject to customary closing conditions. » Más en de.investing.com
