Dan O’Malley, senior vice president and president of the Americas for MoneyGram, said: “Duane Reade continues to be a great partner and essential link to the New York City market and the diverse consumers that make their home there. We’re very pleased to have extended our contract with Duane Reade and look forward to many more years of providing affordable, reliable and convenient money transfer, bill payment and prepaid debit card reload services at one of our premier agents in the region.”
