Rewire CEO, Guy Kashtan said "This investment and licenses are major steps towards fulfilling our company's vision and will be used for additional expansion of geographies and products."
"At our core, we aim to create financial inclusion. Everything that we do at Rewire is aimed to help migrants to build a more financially secure future for themselves and their families," he said.
The company aims to provide services that go beyond traditional banking services such as insurance payments in the migrant's home country and savings accounts.
The statement said that the funding round further builds on the firm's growth in Southeast Asia. Since launching its services in the region in 2016, Rewire has seen users remit hundreds of millions per year to Asia, and has acquired over 2.30 lakh users from China, the Philippines, India and Thailand.
