Xoom, a leading digital money transfer provider, today announced
it soon will have expanded into 13 more countries since the
beginning of 2016. This development marks Xoom’s expansive global
reach in total 53 countries. New receive countries include Cyprus,
Estonia, Finland, Ghana, Haiti, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Slovakia and Slovenia.
With this expansion, Xoom users will be able to send money from
the U.S. to M-Pesa™ accounts in Kenya, in addition to services like
cash pick-up and mobile reload in Haiti and Nepal, and bank
deposits in Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Ghana, Nepal, Nigeria,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Slovakia and Slovenia. We are working
with some of the world’s leading financial services and mobile
wallets including Barclays in Europe, C.A.M. and UniTransfer in
Haiti, Bank of Everest in Nepal, and M-Pesa in Kenya to make our
services available in these countries.
“Remittances are a significant contributor to the economic
development of many countries. In markets such as Nepal,
remittances represent as much as 25 percent of the country’s GDP,”
said John Kunze, vice president at Xoom. “When Xoom enters a
market, we have a history of using technology to help bring
remittances costs down, improve customer service and increase the
speed and convenience of money transfers. This geographic expansion
speaks volumes to the appetite people across the world have for
better remittance options.”
Together, PayPal and Xoom are helping to expand and improve
financial participation and financial health for billions of people
worldwide. We’re providing seamless, secure options for loved ones
to send friends and family money for things like utility bills,
education and healthcare costs and more. We continue to be
committed to making the management and movement of money better,
easier and more affordable for people across the world.
