Fintech Startup Scales Cross-Border Transfers with a Mobile-First Remittance eWallet

About the Client

The client was a fintech startup founded to disrupt traditional cross-border remittance services with a faster, cheaper, and more transparent alternative. Targeting migrant workers, freelancers, and small businesses, the startup aimed to replace slow, expensive money transfer providers with a mobile-first digital wallet capable of near-real-time international transfers. To build a scalable, compliant platform from day one, the startup partnered with Zymr.

Key Outcomes

Traditional remittance rails were costly, slow, and opaque, with transfers taking days to settle and fees eroding transaction value. Operating across multiple countries also introduced complex regulatory requirements around KYC, AML, and transaction monitoring. The startup needed a wallet platform that could deliver fintech-grade speed and transparency while maintaining strong compliance controls and supporting rapid user growth.
