To use FastSend, customers will need to log in to the MoneyGram app or website. Afterward, they should enter the receiver’s name and phone number, and select FastSend. The service sends a text to the receiver notifying them that they have money immediately available for a deposit. The receiver then logs in, adds their debit card, and the funds are transferred into their bank account in minutes.

As to FastSend’s major advantage, it gives users a fast way to send money by sending a text message, eliminating the need for providing the receiver’s bank account information.
