Lebara has made WorldRemit its exclusive global money transfer partner, enabling more than three million Lebara Mobile and Lebara Money users to use WorldRemit’s service directly from the Lebara app and website.

Lebara customers in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands and Denmark will benefit from WorldRemit’s payout network in over 145 countries and its low cost digital money transfer service. This will provide a more convenient and lower cost alternative to the 90 per cent of migrants who still send money through offline networks.

As part of the deal, WorldRemit will also benefit from co-branding in Lebara’s full retail estate stores and advertising in Lebara Mobile simpacks sold in western Europe.

Graeme Oxby, CEO of Lebara group, said: “This initiative is in response to a growing need of our valued customer base. Many of Lebara’s customers send money home to relatives and friends and we are delighted to be able to partner with WorldRemit to offer a simple to use and highly cost effective service.”

Ismail Ahmed, founder and CEO of WorldRemit, added: “With more than 260,000 points of sale, Lebara’s visibility and brand awareness complements WorldRemit’s strong digital capability.”
