$10 mln in extra funding for TransferGo

In a recent article, TechCrunch reported that another RippleNet member, the TransferGo remittance firm, has received $10 mln from an investment round in which major companies such as Seventure, Vostok Emerging Finance and others participated.

TransferGo emerged on the remittance market eight years ago, operating mainly for third world citizens who worked in Europe and sent cash home to their relatives. The biggest number of clients were from India working in the UK.

It inked a partnership with Ripple in 2019, joined RippleNet and started saving up to ninety percent on transfer fees. Now, as the Chinese-born pandemic is spreading across the earth along with the lockdown, TransferGo has been receiving a lot more clients wishing to send funds online.
