Also, MoneyGram said it would continue to retain an independent compliance monitor and agreed to implement additional agent oversight and compliance program enhancements.

Since 2012, MoneyGram invested more than USD 100 million in compliance technology, agent oversight and training programs. The company also has implemented new, industry-leading consumer verification standards.
