This update makes things much simpler for you and your loved ones. By connecting directly with the most popular mobile wallets in Mexico and Colombia, we’ve removed the usual hassles of sending money.

What is a Mobile Wallet?
Essentially, a mobile wallet is a digital account that lives on a smartphone. It’s a great alternative to a traditional bank because it doesn't require visiting a physical branch, filling out long forms, or paying high monthly fees. It’s simply an app linked to a mobile phone number.
For many people in Mexico and Colombia, these wallets are the easiest way to handle everyday life. They help your family to pay bills, buy groceries, and keep their money safe without ever needing to go to a bank.
Why Send to a Mobile Wallet?
If you usually send money for cash pickup or to a bank account, switching to a mobile wallet can make life a lot easier for the person receiving the money. Here’s why:
- It’s Fast and Secure: Transfers are typically completed in minutes. Because the money lands directly in an encrypted app on their phone, your recipient doesn’t have to worry about carrying large amounts of cash home from a store.
- No Bank Account Needed: Many people don't have a traditional bank account because of the high fees or the distance to the nearest branch. With a mobile wallet, all they need is a smartphone and a mobile number to receive money from you.
- Available 24/7: Banks close, and stores have operating hours. Mobile wallets are always "open." You can send money whenever you need to, and your family will have access to it immediately, even on weekends or holidays.
- Easier to Spend: Once the money is in the wallet, your family can use it right away to pay for utilities, phone credit, or groceries directly from the app. If they do need physical cash, they can withdraw it at thousands of local agent locations whenever it’s convenient for them.
