The company is also seeking partners to integrate its white label API service.
Money transfers by the British-Polish fintech SPOKO can already be made from EU countries and the UK to 16 countries. The long-term aim is to operate in 51 countries, whilst enabling money transfers to 86 countries.
The app already enables users to send money from Europe to their home countries in local currency, via their mobile, bank account or a point-of-sale outlet. SPOKO offers a payment infrastructure that allows many different local payment methods. For example, in India, you can pick up money in cash or by transfer to a bank account; in Ukraine, by card; in Nigeria, by topping up your phone.
As well as targeting consumers, SPOKO is offering an open API to enable financial, telecommunications or recruitment companies the ability to operate transfer services using a white label model. SPOKO already works with PrivatBank and Alfa Bank, two Ukranian banks, and has carried out several integrations with international partners such as the British fintech Trust Payments.
