The Albany Gazette - TruBit Partners with MoneyGram to Launch Their Global On/Off-Ramp Service in LATAM

This partnership extends the reach of the MoneyGram Access and Stellar's services across Latin America, where TruBit operates in key markets including Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia - regions that collectively receive over $82.06 billion in annual remittances. With Mexico alone recording $64.75 billion in remittances in 2024 (Bank of Mexico), the partnership highlights the critical role of cross-border payments in regional economies where cash remains a significant barrier to financial inclusion.

By combining Stellar's efficient blockchain technology with MoneyGram's extensive cash-in and cash-out network, TruBit offers a seamless solution to these challenges. The integration, activated by MoneyGram, enables users to deposit cash into digital wallets by easily converting fiat to USDC at participating MoneyGram locations. Likewise, users can withdraw digital assets at MoneyGram locations, such as OXXO in Mexico, Cobro Express in Argentina, Bancolombia in Colombia, among other retail stores and banks. Leveraging USDC, a leading stablecoin, ensures reliable and flexible transactions, giving TruBit users greater financial control while seamlessly bridging the gap between physical and digital economies.

This image illustrates how TruBit and MoneyGram work together: users can cash in local currency to USDC via MoneyGram in 35+ countries and cash out by converting USDC back to local currency in 150+ countries worldwide.

Maggie Wu, CEO and Co-Founder of TruBit, commented: "This partnership is a significant breakthrough in bridging cash and digital assets, like USDC, combining innovation and accessibility to better serve our users. We are excited to collaborate with a global leader like MoneyGram to drive financial inclusion and create transformative solutions for the Latin American market."

This partnership highlights TruBit's mission to make the digital economy more accessible across Latin America. By providing a secure and user-friendly bridge between cash and cryptocurrency, TruBit empowers individuals and businesses to engage in the digital financial system, regardless of their technical expertise.
