There are two reasons:

1.) Western U-nion payments are NOT instant. We are not able to receive the fund instantly when you send fund via Western U-nion. It usually takes about 1-3 workdays for us to receive the funds. In order to better manage the funds, we will put the funds into your member account after we receive them. You can use the account balance instantly anytime.
