“I’m deeply saddened by the devastation caused by typhoon Haiyan and if there was ever a time to join forces with industry peers and consumers, now would be it” HY Sia, CEO of Tranglo
Lighter applications of mobile remittance which inevitably also called mobile airtime transfer offer another way of aid most might not expect coming across borders. Take Gyft for example, this aptly named gift exchanging tool keeps the people who are important in your life reminded of your thought of them. In many ways, tools like Gyft is a social building tool, assisting busy lives to still allow time for more gratifying acts.
With a network of over 230 mobile operators in over 82 countries, 400 banks, 7,000 cash pickup outlets, and 11,000 retails points, the possibilities of interconnecting people around the world in infinitely more meaningful ways, is possible.
More recently, Tranglo found itself providing need in a more proactive nature. On 17 August, 2015, Tranglo with partners from Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia and the leading Indonesian NGO foundation Dompet Dhuafa, donated a portion of each cross-border airtime remittance to an Indonesian mobile number towards the purchase of school uniforms for the underprivileged school children in Indonesia’s Nusa Tenggara Barat. Tranglo had the pleasure of partnering with Singapore’s SingTel, Malaysia’s TuneTalk and RedTone. The program ran from June to July 2015 with a total of 16 participating schools which benefitted 3,000 school children.
