Item 8.01. Other Events.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2008, The Western Union Company (the “Company”) is presenting a different geographic view of its consumer-to-consumer segment in order to provide investors with a better understanding of the trends underlying the business in this segment. The Company’s geographic disclosures of consumer-to-consumer revenue growth, transaction growth and revenue as a percentage of total Company revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, reflect the following regional view:

Europe, Middle East, Africa, South Asia (“EMEASA”);

Americas; and

Asia Pacific (“APAC”)

For comparability, the Company has included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K a schedule presenting previously reported revenue and transaction growth information for 2007 (by quarter) and the first quarter of 2008, and revenue as a percent of total Company revenue for 2006, 2007 (by quarter) and the first quarter of 2008 under this new view and the previously reported view (International, Domestic, and Mexico).

The new presentation does not impact the Company’s reportable segments or total revenue for each segment, as previously reported. In addition, it does not impact the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity/(Deficiency)/Net Investment in The Western Union Company.
