There may be more and cheaper, but I don't know about alternatives, because I don't know the typical customer of his/her options. I have only anecdotal suspicions/guesses.

The "typical" person would be a worker who gets paid weekly by check?
Would that person "typically" have a bank account, or would that person use a check cashing service?

I go to large hispanic supermarkets sometimes. I see moneygram or WU little cubbyholes that are manned where people can use these services. In that there is convenience for the customer who has cash, I am assuming.

Otoh, yes, I have to assume there's big risk that somehow fintech startups or entrenched fintech or something will hack away at WU and take customers. So far though, past eight years revenue's been steady, profitable, dividend's holding up.
My tracking few shares reduces risk of significant dollar losses. Occasionally there's a rise in stock price to capture a trade.
