THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Sept. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

    Embarking on the first step to enter the Colombian region for enabling 
cross-border digital payments, TerraPay,a global payments infrastructure 
company today announced a strategic partnership with MOVii, a leading mobile 
wallet service that allow both banked and unbanked Colombians to do financial 
transactions from their mobile phone, with ease, convenience and security.

    This collaboration is envisioned in phases with an aligned objective to 
transform the way Colombian residents and diaspora across the world send and 
receive money digitally. 

    The first array of the partnership would enable Colombian diaspora residing 
in countries such as North America, Europe, including a whole suite of 
TerraPay's 153 send partner countries, to transfer instant payments to their 
family and friends in Colombia through MOVii mobile wallet payouts. This opens 
up an incremental opportunity to connect TerraPay's 500Mn+ mobile wallet 
partner customers globally, with MOVii's mobile wallets in the region. 

    Following up with the next milestone in the coming months, TerraPay would 
be bringing together a similar interoperability platform to enable Colombian 
residents to receive instant money transfers from their family and friends 
residing globally, into bank account payouts. The strategic partnership plans 
are in the process. To further empower Colombian residents to feel independent 
and resilient, the third phase builds the outbound money transfer channels to 
TerraPay's well entrenched  79 receive partner countries.

    Committed to achieving key SDG goals in alignment to both the company's 
investor - IFC's vision to 'End extreme poverty by 2030', and 'Boosting shared 
prosperity', this partnership drives financial inclusion, independence and 
resilience for MOVii's 1.7 million Colombian users - both residents and 
diaspora globally.

    Speaking on the launch of the partnership, Ricardo Madronero, Regional 
Manager– LATAM region, TerraPay stated, "Our partnership with MOVii is the 
starting means to accelerate the growing opportunity for inbound remittances 
from Colombian diaspora globally. TerraPay's industry benchmarked 
interoperability engine will seamlessly connect an impressive count of over 1.7 
million MOVii mobile wallet users to receive instant funds, with credibility. 
An exciting path ahead with many more such collaborations to enhance and deepen 
multi payment channel connections and usage, globally."

    "We are proud to partner with TerraPay, in further empowering our existing 
mobile wallet users to do more than just transact digitally. Now, they can also 
receive instant cross-border money transfers from their family residing at any 
of TerraPay's extensive global partner network send countries. For diaspora,
