The firm also carried out a technical verification process to develop an improved remittance experience for the American users.

SentBe CEO Alex Seong-Ouk Choi said: “SentBe has been widely used by migrant workers across Asia, and the success in the region is based on our emphasis on removing cross-border barriers and bringing convenience to customers.

“We are bringing the same experience to the US, one of the largest financial markets in the world, and we will continue to expand our services to other markets including Canada, Australia and countries in Europe.”

Last month, SentBe announced a partnership with Currencycloud to expand cross-border remittance service.
