Western Union Business Solutions and TuChequera.com that will allow
entrepreneurs in Puerto Rico to conduct business in over 130
currencies and send online business payments through a fast, secure

entrepreneurship on the island has slowly started to rebound.

TuChequera.com will assist in introducing customers to the Western
Union Business Solutions payments platform, WU® EDGE, allowing

businesses for their global payments,” said Alfred Nader, vice
president of Western Union Business Solutions for the Latin America
