The first-ever MoneyGram Access Hackathon is ON!   In partnership with our partners at Decaf, three teams went head-to-head, presenting to a panel of judges from MoneyGram and Stellar Development Foundation. Ultimately, Team 2 walked away the champions (Let’s hear it for Greg Shaheen, Joan Ruiz de Bustillo Ohngemach, Laura M., Niranjan Velagapudi, Deepak Kumar, Vinay Anantha Hariharapura and Gustavo Rodriguez 👏)   Next up: front-end and back-end dev teams will combine forces to work toward a shared goal – enhancing MoneyGram Access, our real-world solution that bridges cash and cryptocurrencies for the world's communities.

On #WorldRefugeeDay,we join the global community in honoring the strength and resilience of refugees around the world. At MoneyGram, we're committed to supporting immigrant and refugee communities through our partnership with GlobalGiving. We're proud to back projects that empower these communities to build brighter futures through financial literacy, workforce development, and job readiness programs – essential tools for self-sufficiency. Our commitment extends beyond financial support. Today, MoneyGram employees volunteered with Heart House Dallas for their Cultural Picnic. We sponsored the event with refreshments and supplies, fostering a welcoming space for refugees to connect and celebrate their heritage. #MGForWhatMatters #MoneyGramForWhatMatters

June 16 is International Day of Family Remittances, an observance founded by the United Nations General Assembly that highlights the economic impact of remittances on migrant families and communities.   This year’s IDFR theme of "digital remittances towards financial inclusion and cost reduction" highlights the positive effects of digitalization in reducing costs, improving access and advancing financial inclusion for the 1 billion people involved as remittance senders or receivers.   As a result of MoneyGram’s digital transformation over the years, we are proud to report that our average cost to consumers is significantly lower than the 6% industry average reported by the World Bank and already well ahead of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal to reduce the average cost of remittance fees to 3% globally by 2030.   Today and every day, MoneyGram recognizes the importance of providing global consumers with a secure, timely and affordable way to support their loved ones around the world. #FamilyRemittances #IDFR2024

“Tell ’em what you’re going to do, then do it,” shares Greg Hall in today’s article on Forbes. In reference to MoneyGram’s title partnership with MoneyGram Haas F1 Team, Greg discusses the benefits sports sponsorships can bring to all involved – the brand, team and stakeholders – and how communicating goals early and following through can lead to a win-win-win situation.

We’re thrilled to be included in this report and partner with Visa to provide global consumers with access to fast and easy payments to support their loved ones. “An international money transfer between two individuals is more than just a transaction, it’s often a means of survival. Every day, we see our customers sending money home to support basic needs like food and shelter. That’s why it’s crucial that we continue to get this right. Thanks to our partnership with Visa Direct, we’re able to seamlessly reach millions of additional digital endpoints, enabling the quick and easy movement of money to people around the world,” said MoneyGram Chairman and CEO Alex Holmes in the report.
