WorldRemit CEO & founder Ismail Ahmed said: "Remittances help Vietnamese all over the world connect with their friends and family abroad.
"Up until now, most Vietnamese have had to queue at high-street money transfer agents and incur high fees to send money home. With the WorldRemit app, people all over the world can send money to Vietnam with just a few taps on their smartphone."
According to data from the World Bank, Vietnamese abroad sent home $12bn in remittances in 2014.
In February 2015, WorldRemit raised $100m in a funding round led by Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV).
