There's one major difference... Both Western Union and Moneygram are licensed in each and every country (in the US and Canada at the state/province level) they operate in. They require the sender to fill out a form with the sender's and recipient’s info and they also require both senders and recipients to show proof of ID. Some jurisdictions have additional requirements to satisfy the 'know your customer' rule.

I feel it would be a bit difficult to to try to license the corner store guy...

It seems that Paytoo Mobile has some partners for that. Using call credit vouchers to top-up a Paytoo Mobile is basically the same as depositing credit into a mobile wallet. I hope there is a direct link between Paytoo and Vodafone (NL), but i think it will be via a third party (MVNE) like Teleena.
