13 August, 2024, Singapore – Tranglo announced the launch of payout services to five CIS countries: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, and Uzbekistan.
This strategic move aims to enhance the financial connectivity between CIS countries, a region where remittances are a critical lifeline for millions of families.
According to the data released by the Migration Data Portal in May, there were 7.8 million migrants from Central Asia globally as of mid-2020.
In some of these nations, the contributions from migrant workers abroad form a substantial part of the national gross domestic product (GDP). For example, in Tajikistan, remittances account for 39% of the GDP, while in Kyrgyzstan, they contribute over 20%, making them among the Top 10 countries most reliant on remittances in 2023.
At launch, the supported CIS payout countries are Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova and Uzbekistan, with more to follow. Beneficiaries can pick up the cash in USD or Euro within 15 minutes.
Tranglo Group CEO Jacky Lee said: “We are excited to enter the CIS region, where remittances are a crucial economic pillar for many families. Our target is to enhance financial connectivity and provide a more reliable and cost-effective way for migrant workers to support their loved ones.
“This expansion aligns with our commitment to bridging financial gaps, improving financial inclusion and empowering communities through seamless cross-border payments.”
