On October 7, 2025, Western Union and International Money Express, Inc. (Intermex) announced the expiration of the Hart‑Scott‑Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act waiting period for the planned acquisition of Intermex, marking a critical regulatory milestone for the transaction.
The expiration indicates that the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission have cleared the waiting period, allowing the parties to proceed toward closing, which is expected in mid‑2026 pending additional regulatory approvals, shareholder consent, and customary closing conditions.
The acquisition, first announced in August 2025, will add Intermex’s extensive network of agent locations in the United States, Canada, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom and Germany to Western Union’s global footprint, expanding its retail presence in high‑growth corridors and enhancing cross‑border transfer capabilities.
