Transfer Galaxy
We have found a solution to a problem that most people haven’t even heard about, although it’s experienced by millions of people. Our technology makes instant transfer to mobile wallets possible at the markets’ best rate
Transfer Galaxy is an instant, cash-free mobile money transfer service, enabling customers to send money to loved ones from a smartphone, tablet or computer. The recipients receive the money instantly in their mobile wallets at much better rates than currently offered. The team has developed a fully digital, reliable solution in a traditional, slow-to-change segment, a sort of Swish or Venmo for international payments. Today, Transfer Galaxy is one of the fastest growing fintech companies in Europe

They serve their customers with compassion and empathy, communicating in many languages, truly personalizing their digital offering.
Backers’ perspective
BackingMinds came across Transfer Galaxy in April 2016, when we were researching emerging markets within the Swedish borders. We identified the remittance market as having incredible potential, making a total of $608 billion worldwide in 2015, with immense continued growth due to the increase of global migration. Migrants continue to send money to relatives back home, often on a regular monthly basis. While classic money transfer business models rely on agents and physical branches, Transfer Galaxy has shaped a digitalized solution that is smarter, faster and cheaper than the existing players. Additionally, due to monthly payments, the service almost becomes like a subscription model, providing negative churn and driving high customer loyalty. With an excellence in peer2peer marketing in subgroups, we believe the team is perfectly fit for exponential growth.
