We are thrilled to be recognized and our solution validated by these industry leaders.”
“Moreover,” LaBella continued, “these nominations, combined with our fast growing user base and expanding presence in Latin America, are solid indicators that not only is our BillMo application meeting a tremendous need in the remittance space, but we are delivering a solution that is valuable and empowering to tens of thousands of people in their day-to-day lives.”
BillMo has flipped the business model of a $60 billion Latin America remittance industry.
