MoneyGram opens office in Brussels

(Reuters) - The U.S. money-transfer company MoneyGram International Inc (O:MGI) confirmed on Friday that it had opened an office in Brussels and National Bank of Belgium had granted it license as a payment provider.

The uncertainty regarding Britain's decision to leave the European Union led MoneyGram, whose European headquarters is in London, to look at different options to ensure its business was not disrupted, MoneyGram said.

MoneyGram also said it would remain registered with UK's financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, and continue operations in Britain.
