It adds chatting facility to streamline communication between senders and receivers and also comes with the ability to immediately top up mobile phones with pre-paid minutes anywhere within the Caribbean.

The company aims to accelerate as well as encourage financial inclusion with the help of a mobile money ecosystem based on a single currency that can easily be used by anyone across the Caribbean.
