WorldRemit
What KOKO knows now
WorldRemit provides online international money transfers, with receiving options that depend on the destination. A transfer can reach a bank account, mobile-money wallet or cash-collection location. The business began in 2010 when Ismail Ahmed, Catherine Wines and Richard Igoe established a digital alternative to arranging remittances through physical agents.
Ahmed’s experience of sending funds to family in East Africa while studying in London informed the company’s development. London is its headquarters, while its regional hubs include Cameroon, Nigeria, Poland, the Philippines and the United States. The service focuses on people supporting relatives and friends across borders, including payments towards education, household spending and bills. Customers arrange the sending side online, with the available delivery channels shaped by the receiving market.
