1. A system for effectuating a value transfer, the system comprising:
- a point-of-sale device, wherein the point-of-sale device is in communication with a money transfer system to transfer monetary values from senders to recipients via a first communication network, wherein senders provide monetary value that is to be provided to a designated recipient, with the monetary value and designated recipient information being input into the point-of-sale device and transmitted to the money transfer system via the first communication network, and wherein recipients may receive monetary values using the point-of-sale device, with recipient identifying information being input into the point-of-sale device and transmitted to the money transfer system via the first communication network for verification, wherein the point-of-sale device is in communication with a remote transaction system via a second communication network; and
wherein the remote transaction system is physically distinct from the money transfer system.
