Furthermore, this will double that of Remitly’s current cash pick-up location count.
Euronet CEO of money transfer segment Juan Bianchi said: “Ria’s partnership with Remitly is a testament to Euronet’s global asset capabilities, and how Euronet’s global assets can enhance other companies’ value propositions, accelerating their speed to market in our highly dynamic industry.”
The partnership is significant considering that over half of the money transfers enabled by Remitly are collected in cash.
Remitly CEO and co-founder Matt Oppenheimer said: “This collaboration will allow customers to send money from Remitly’s digital platform to be picked up in cash in nations where cash is dominant, whether they’re in a major metropolitan city or a rural village.”
