About
At Taptap Send, our core mission is to reduce inequity by helping immigrants move money home, striving to become the leading cross-border fintech for emerging markets. We are driven by a commitment to make financial services accessible and affordable for underserved communities around the world. Our journey began with the realization that traditional money transfer services were often expensive, slow, and inconvenient, particularly for those sending money to developing countries. We saw an opportunity to leverage the mobile money revolution, which has provided over a billion people with digital financial access, to create a better solution. This led to the creation of Taptap Send, an app designed to make sending money to Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean fast, secure, and incredibly low-cost. Our values are deeply embedded in everything we do. 'Impact first' and 'Team next' guide our priorities, ensuring that our efforts are always directed towards making a tangible difference in the lives of our users and that we support each other in achieving this goal. We believe in 'accepting reality and proposing solutions,' fostering a proactive and problem-solving mindset. 'Win with grit' reflects our determination to overcome challenges in a competitive landscape. 'Be proactively candid, with yourself and others' promotes a culture of honesty and transparency. Perhaps most uniquely, our value to 'love the particular' celebrates the diversity of the communities we serve. It reminds us to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach and to tailor our product to specific local needs. Our team itself is a testament to this, hailing from over 25 countries and speaking more than 30 languages. We are not just serving these communities; we are part of them. We work hard every day to provide a reliable and honest service by relentlessly pursuing solutions to lower costs, reduce delays, and increase convenience. We are proud to be working towards the UN Sustainable Development Goal of reducing cross-border remittance costs, aiming to make this a reality today.
