Launched in 2012, the online money transfer company boasts a customer base of around 750,000 users. It guarantees a 30 minute turnaround time for cross-border funds transfer.
In a statement, TransferGo CEO Daumantas Dvilinskas said: “Our journey and growth is powered by those customers, and this crowdfunding campaign is a way to bring customers even closer to our mission as we boost international expansion and develop new products.
“In this crowdfunding campaign we are expecting to raise €2m to boost our international expansion and product innovation plans.
“I see a huge opportunity in the remittance market. Today only 6% of global remittances are digital, with most transactions still cash-based. The online remittance market is expected to grow from $1.5bn in 2017 to $8.5bn by 2025.”
