Rene Lopez’s immigration story is a familiar one: he left Mexico to pursue more opportunities in the United States. “I wanted to fulfill the American Dream,” he says.

Fifteen years later, he’s still living and working in Chicago, and frequently sends money to his parents back in Guadalajara. “That way, I am able to help them with all of their expenses even though I’m far away,” Rene says. “They don’t have to worry about anything!”

Now that Rene uses the Pangea Money Transfer app to send money to them, he doesn’t have to worry, either.

“Pangea has made sending money to my loved ones in Mexico a breeze. A couple of steps on the app and the money is sent. No more waiting in long lines. Everything at the touch of your fingerprints.”

In the past, Rene used Moneygram—but then he had an emergency that led him to discover Pangea Money Transfer. “All of the Moneygram establishments were closed, but thanks to Pangea, I was able to send money to Mexico for this emergency,” he says. “Pangea saved my day!”

Even when there’s not an emergency, Rene loves how easy it is to send money to Mexico with Pangea. “I like Pangea better because you can do everything from your house. The process is very fast and efficient!”

The flat fee of $4.95 is another perk. Now that he’s saving more money by using the Pangea mobile transfer app, Rene can have a little fun on his day off. “I use the money to go out on the weekends,” he says.

Sign up for your free Pangea account today and start living the dream, like Rene. Along with a flat fee, it’s so easy to find the Mexico exchange rate—you’ll see it as soon as you open the app!
