Why do you think you should win this category?:
Remittance service providers used to need to establish partnerships with different payment processors operating in different countries.
Tranglo’s proprietary Partner Network makes full use of our Application Programming Interface (API) to connect our partners to more than 100 countries with just one simple integration. It is designed as a single settlement interface that provides real-time, secure and timely payout across multiple currencies and geographies.
Incorporating world-class industry standards such as PCI DSS compliance assessments and state-of-the-art key management solution, our API minimises leakages: In 2017, a P2P market leader in Hong Kong reported a 99% transaction success rate after a mere 1.5 years of collaboration with Tranglo, processing more than 2 million transactions worth US$400 million with a whopping 91.2% return users.

Why do you think you should win this category?
According to the World Bank’s 2019 Migration and Development Brief, remittances to low- and middle-income countries reached a record high in 2018. This corresponds with Tranglo processing almost US$1.5 billion in
remittance flows the same year, a 100% increase over the processing value for 2017. This staggering growth is possible through the development of in-house innovative platform and API to meet the needs of top remittance recipients, such as India with US$79 billion, followed by China (US$67 billion) and the Philippines (US$34 billion). All of the above countries are Tranglo’s recipient channels.
We focus on cross-border payments and remittance solutions targeting emerging markets where there are a lack of structured and traditional financial services. Our vast network benefits end users by letting them send and receive money quickly at a more affordable rate. This is important seeing that reducing remittance costs to 3 per cent by 2030 is a global target under the UN Sustainable Development Goal.
