Pangea Money Transfer started with a vision of reducing the pain points and cost of sending money abroad. Now, almost a year after releasing the Pangea Money Transfer app, we hear Erika’s money transfer story.

Erika Torres, born and raised in Taxco de Alarcón Guerrero, Mexico, moved to the U.S. only 3 years ago. In doing so, she left much of her immediate family behind, including her brothers and elderly father. As a hard working immigrant, Erika leaps at opportunities to save more of her earned income and time.

With Pangea Money Transfer, Erika says, “I save more money compared to services I’ve used in the past.” Her elderly father in Mexico, who is no longer working, knows that he can expect a few more dollars every couple weeks.

“Since I came to Pangea, my life changed completely,” Erika says. “I don’t have to worry when my family calls me to send them money. I just grab my cell and the money is ready in less than a minute. I don’t have to leave home.”

With a cheaper money transfer solution, Erika confirms she rests easier. She can better support her children in the U.S. and father in Mexico. More of her money helps pay for his much needed medications and care.
