And at a discount. MoneyGram CEO Alex Holmes interprets this partnership as follows:
Many of the people who earn money from Uber try to send money back home and family. Thanks to our partnership with Uber, we will be able to serve these people. In many countries where Uber is used, MoneyGram application is also used and people love the MoneyGram brand. We are proud to help these people, especially in this challenging process from Kovid-19. ”
