History

WorldRemit was founded in 2010 by Ismail Ahmed, a former compliance advisor to the United Nations Development Programme.[4][5] In October 2018, the firm announced that he would be stepping into the role of executive chairman and the company would be bringing in Breon Corcoran as CEO.[6] During his tenure WorldRemit acquired SendWave[7] and Zepz was created as the group business housing both the WorldRemit and SendWave brands and businesses. Breon Corcoran left the organization in August 2022,[8] when Mark Lenhard, former COO of bill.com, was appointed Group CEO of Zepz.[9]

Operations

WorldRemit focuses on cross border remittance money transfers from over 50 countries to over 130 countries around the world.[10] For those receiving money, it offers pay out options including bank deposit, mobile money, mobile airtime top-up and cash pick-up as well as cash delivery.

The firm has a network of more than 5,000 corridors. It is connected to mobile money services globally, including Zaad (Somaliland/Northern Somalia), M-Pesa (Kenya), MTN (Africa and Asia), and bKash (Bangladesh). As of October 2019, it can send funds to 115 different countries; this includes all African countries except for Sudan, South Sudan, Eswatini, Eritrea, Libya, and Algeria.[11]

In 2021 WorldRemit acquired Sendwave, another cross-border digital payments company. In 2020 the two processed 50m transactions and facilitated the sending of over $10bn.[citation needed]

Funding

WorldRemit is backed by venture capital companies Accel Partners[12] and Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV).[13]

In February 2015, the firm announced a $100m Series B funding round led by TCV.[14] It was also announced that TCV General Partner John Rosenberg would join its board.[15]

In 2017, the firm received $40 million in their Series C round of funding, with LeapFrog Investments as the lead investor.[3] In 2019, it raised a $175 million Series D funding round, led by TCV, Accel, and Leapfrog Investments.[16]
