Moreover, many migrants, especially in rural areas, lack access to formal financial channels, compelling reliance on costlier informal options, exacerbating difficulties in ensuring reliable transfers to their families.

Other investors included Y-Combinator, Zrosk, Global Founders Capital, and Olive Tree.
