MoneyGram’s non-custodial digital wallet will redefine cross-border payments and enable customers to send and receive money in new ways. Once launched, wallet users will be able to visit any participating MoneyGram location to cash-out their digital assets to increase the utility of their holdings. Users will also be able to send digital assets to other users in the wallet. Importantly, and unique to the industry, MoneyGram will apply its global compliance screening capabilities to all wallet users.
Company officials said their vision to connect the world's communities, by empowering customers through innovative financial solutions, takes another step forward. Through the services they provide in partnership with SDF, MoneyGram has made strides to create equitable access to the global financial system, having become one of the largest fiat on and off-ramp providers offering blockchain access worldwide.
As MoneyGram rolls out the wallet in 2024, they will introduce new features within the app that will help further bridge the worlds of international money transfers and blockchain payments.
In 2022, MoneyGram launched a first-of-its-kind global fiat on and off-ramp service for digital wallets to increase the utility of digital assets by creating a bridge between fiat and digital currencies. Since launch, the company has expanded the service to eight digital wallets on the Stellar blockchain, providing consumers the ability to cash-out in 180+ countries and cash-in in 30+ countries around the world.
The MoneyGram non-custodial digital wallet – which will be offered as a zero-fee service until June 2024 – will leverage the Stellar network and MoneyGram's fiat on and off-ramp services integrated with the Stellar network. The wallet was built by Cheesecake Labs in partnership with MoneyGram.
