Why we invested in Azimo
International migrant worker money remittance remains a huge and largely manual, high fee industry. Azimo is now considered one of the few scale European leaders, delivering to over 200 countries in over 80 currencies.
Azimo’s expertise in product design, marketing, financial payments infrastructure and compliance is putting it at the forefront of the industry as customers see the substantial benefits of moving to a digital experience.
