MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cachet Financial Solutions (OTCQB:CAFN), a leading mobile FinTech provider of cloud-based remote deposit capture (RDC) and mobile money solutions, has partnered with Viamericas Corporation, a portfolio company of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) - World Bank Group, to integrate Viamericas’ top-ranked international money transfer capabilities into Cachet’s award-winning Select Mobile™ Money SaaS solution.
Viamericas’ global network provides cash payout or same-day direct deposits from the U.S. to Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, the Philippines, India and other countries. The network includes thousands of bank and nonbank payout locations in both urban centers and remote rural communities.
Cachet’s Select Mobile Money cloud-based SaaS platform allows hundreds of financial institutions and alternative financial service (AFS) providers across the U.S. to provide their prepaid cardholders a full suite of convenient financial services in one easy-to-use mobile companion app. Available for both iOS or Android mobile devices, Select Mobile Money helps users better manage their prepaid cards and personal funds, including account management, transaction history, card-to-card transfer, check-to-card loading with immediate good funds option, and other convenient services.
The app also features location-based technology that can pinpoint nearby reload locations and ATMs, as well as a national mobile coupon network with local deals. Advanced features include fingerprint authentication and multi-language support.
The integration with Viamericas adds fully-integrated, seamless and secure international money transfer capabilities, including single sign-on, complete transaction histories and easy repeat transactions with previously saved recipients, all of which are available through Viamericas’ Vianex Money Transfer as a Service (MTaaS) platform.
“Our partnership with Cachet and the integration of our platforms brings the convenience and efficiency of international mobile money transfer to the banked and unbanked alike,” said Paul Dwyer, CEO of Viamericas. “By integrating our MTaaS platform with Cachet’s award-winning prepaid card app, this partnership furthers our mission to unite immigrant families globally and help them achieve their goals by providing low-cost, reliable and secure international remittance through the channels most used by our customers."
Jeff Mack, president and CEO of Cachet Financial Solutions commented: “In today’s mobile world, people expect mobile access to the financial services they rely upon every day, which means not having to make a special trip to a bank or service location just to send money to family or friends abroad. For both new and as an upgrade on existing deployments, we can now offer this service on our Select Mobile Money platform as an easy to use, fully-integrated international money transfer feature powered by Viamericas.”
For prepaid card program providers, adding this new international money transfer feature can broaden the appeal of a prepaid card and further extend its life, and thereby create stickier, more profitable customer relationships. Powerful back-end analytics also enable card program providers to segment card users, allowing them to send relevant push notifications and in-app messages that can keep users engaged.
As a unique ‘white label’ offering with multi-tenant capabilities, Select Mobile Money enables quick and easy deployment of a variety of branded cards and matching companion mobile apps — all managed by a singular backend platform.
