The Irrawaddy Business Roundup reports that Western Union, a US-based global financial transfer service, has cut ties with the military–owned Myawaddy Bank in light of accusations that the military is responsible for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
In December 2018, Burma Campaign UK named and shamed a total of 49 companies worldwide that do business with the military in its “Dirty List” of firms. Western Union has now been removed from that list.
