Our take
Hubpay is a fintech startup aiming to address the remittance and mobile money industries in emerging markets by launching a financial service specially designed to benefit both the sender and the receiver. By using its service, users can easily send money abroad in the currency of the receiver's country, benefiting from competitive exchange rates and fast transfers.
By enabling low-cost digital remittances and international payments, Hubpay aims to capture a large market share in UAE - the first region where the company launched and one of the largest remittance markets in the world. As part of their growth strategy, they joined the VISA Fast Track Program in order to benefit from Visa's payment network and expertise as they scale their business.
Around $5 trillion is transferred internationally everyday. The international community is so focused on reducing the cost of these transfers that the G20 and UN have agreed a target for the average cost to consumers of 5%. Hubpay's main priority is thus to capitalise on this opportunity and to expand across the Middle East and Asia in order to support the financial inclusion of the remittance community in these emerging markets.
