¡¡¡¡HANOI, Sept. 27 (Xinhuanet) -- Western Union Financial Services, an international money transfer service, has launched a new money delivery service in a few cities in Vietnam, local media reported on Friday.

¡¡¡¡The Home Delivery service enables customers to have their dollars delivered directly to their homes at no extra charge.

¡¡¡¡To begin with, the service is available in three big cities of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Can Tho. Eventually, it will be expanded to other cities and provinces like Da Nang, Hue and Hai Phong.

¡¡¡¡The company also plans to expand Home Delivery to rural areas by the end of this year.

¡¡¡¡Recent figures from the State Bank of Vietnam show that the money transfer market in the country has developed significantly in recent years following the steady growth of labor export and tourism. In 2000, it was 2 billion US dollars, approximately 15 percent of the country's total exports. Enditem
