US-based iSend announced it has more than
doubled its coverage in one year.
iSend provides cross-border
consumer-to-business payments, enabling foreign immigrants in the
US, Canada and the UK to pay bills and top up mobile phones in
their country of origin.
Its C2B services are now available in 150,000
retail outlets across the US, Canada and the UK. They were some
60,000 in May 2011.
The firms said it has secured a number of
partnerships with mobile carriers, bill payment processors, and
retail chains that will enable its costumers to support family
members in more than 65 countries, up from 30 countries last
year.
Africa, Asia and the Middle East have been the
main drivers of growth.
