The tunl.™ platform integrates smartRemit with FICANEX’s EXCHANGE® Network’s technology infrastructure to provide easy, cost effective and secure delivery of money through next-generation digital services. The first service to be offered on the tunl.™ platform is SendGlobal™, a fully digital international money transfer service that provides a convenient and secure way for Canadians to send money around the world. Canadians send over $20 billion each year to recipients in foreign countries. SendGlobal™ enables financial institutions to satisfy their customers' growing demand for mobility in financial services while opening a new revenue opportunity for credit unions and banks.
SendGlobal™ is the result of collaboration by some of the best payment technologies in Canada that connects one of the largest financial institution networks in Canada with one of the largest international money transfer networks in the world,” said Andrew Obee, President & CEO of FICANEX. “It’s the first of its kind globally, and we are proud to have partnered with Mobetize Corp. to bring it to fruition.” Mr. Obee, further commented that “our agreement with Mobetize, enables FICANEX to offer our 170+ member financial institutions a competitive solution for digital international money transfers for their 5.5 million+ cardholders. We can now offer a truly differentiated service that would be difficult and challenging for individual financial institutions to develop.”
“We are thrilled to be an integral part of this collaboration with FICANEX and their partners. Mobetize’s relationship with FICANEX validates its business model for partnering with financial institutions to deliver trusted fintech solutions. smartRemit provides distinct advantages for financial institutions to set their own fees, FOREX spreads, access a global cash payout network and connect with bank accounts in compliance with cross border regulation of person to person payments. Mobetize is excited to be a key stakeholder in this collaboration as it is the first cross border remittance solution of its kind,” said Ajay Hans, President & CEO of Mobetize.
