About the Company

We’re a UK based company offering a trusted and transparent service on money transfers. Allowing our customers to save money on their international transfers. 

Our purpose is ‘money where it’s needed’. We provide international money transfer services to support primarily under-served, sometimes high-risk locations, enabling migrants and refugees to support their loved ones at home. For the people receiving money, we are quite literally a lifeline. We aim to remove financial and geographical barriers and support under-banked communities.

To support these growth plans, we are actively working on adjacent products for businesses, including charities, educational institutions, government and non-government organisations, as well as sole traders and freelancers. We are also providing our payment capabilities to other fintechs who need access to under-served locations.
