message from the chairman
John Conoley
Wameja Chairman & HomeSend Board Member
“Cross-border payments is a multi-trillion dollar market. We believe that HomeSend is increasingly well positioned to provide a true comparable proposition to correspondent banking on a global scale but with lower-cost capability for bank customers whilst significantly improving the quality of that service in both speed and transparency.
“HomeSend has established and validated reach in 60 key destination markets under its current model representing 50% of global trade flows and 70% of global remittances and it aims to increase this reach to cover markets which represented 80% of global trade flow destinations and remittance destinations in 2019.”
