Intermex started a new 30-day antitrust review for its proposed Western Union merger after filings on October 2, 2026. The filing keeps regulatory approval as the central issue for International Money Express stock, while the USD 16.00 cash offer remains the transaction benchmark, according to StockTitan.

Why the 30-day wait matters

International Money Express and Western Union each submitted new premerger notification forms to the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department. The filings began a new 30-day waiting period, and the companies requested early termination, but completion also depends on the reinstatement of approval from California's Department of Financial Protection and Innovation.

The transaction would make Intermex a wholly owned Western Union subsidiary. The October 2 filing therefore changes the timetable rather than confirming a closing date, and the regulatory conditions remain material to the deal's outcome.

Second-quarter revenue fell

Intermex generated USD 131.16 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, down 18.6 percent from USD 161.13 million in the second quarter of 2025. Net income declined to USD 4.21 million from USD 11.01 million over the same comparison, according to The Globe and Mail.

That earnings backdrop gives the merger process added importance. The company also generated USD 112.72 million in operating cash flow during the second quarter of 2026, while cash stood at USD 150.64 million on June 30, 2026.

Intermex keeps its Nasdaq identity

International Money Express provides remittance services through retail agents, company-operated stores, websites and a mobile app across more than 60 countries. Its investor-relations page identifies the listing as Nasdaq: IMXI and places the company in Miami.

For investors, the deal offers a defined USD 16.00 consideration, while the latest operating figures point to weaker year-over-year revenue and profit. The market capitalization was USD 319.6 million as of October 15, 2026.
