Instant Cash’s global agent network expanded their service offerings by offering cross-border transfers to mobile wallets, which is powering growth in many emerging markets. In the initial rollout, TerraPay has enabled Instant Cash customers to send remittances to mobile wallets in Nigeria, Tanzania and Uganda.
