Tranglo Partners BRI to encourage digital remittance with REMBO programme

The REMBO programme was launched on 13 May 2018, offering users a chance to win attractive prizes such as mobile phones, television sets and flight tickets. To participate, users have to remit money to any BRI account using one of Tranglo's digital money transfer partners.
