Then, they can make a purchase directly through the application or go to one of the 1,380 points of sale in more than 250 cities in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> and add funds with cash. Once the recipient in <span class=\"xn-location\">Guatemala<\/span> has received their digital voucher, they can present it to a salesperson at their nearest Suzuki branch and choose from more than 30 motorcycle models Suzuki Guatemala offers. The entire process is safe and immediate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As immigrants, we understand what the needs of the region are, the challenges they face, and the type of support that is required from family or friends who are currently in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span>,&#8221; said V\u00edctor Unda CEO of OKY. &#8220;Through this alliance, Guatemalans abroad will be able to offer their loved one&#8217;s access to one of the most popular and important motorcycle brands in <span class=\"xn-location\">Guatemala<\/span>.

We will be able to observe the positive impact of the application of technology as a tool to promote inclusion and provide a better quality of life for all,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond providing them access to an effective, safe, and less expensive method of transportation, the alliance between OKY and Suzuki Guatemala allows immigrants in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> to offer an indispensable work tool to their parents, children, or friends. In turn, this will enable them to continue the path toward financial independence.<\/p>\n<p>OKY is the only fintech platform designed to give immigrant communities the ability to digitize cash and engage in cross-border e-commerce activities. Through OKY, users can send funds directly to family members in their home country to make purchases at participating retailers such as Suzuki.<\/p>\n<p>By removing these barriers, a motorcycle company like Suzuki can now sell products to Guatemalans in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> who do not have access to traditional financial tools, making it a unique alliance for immigrants and their families in the region.<\/p>\n<p>This alliance not only adds a leading global brand to OKY&#8217;s network but also aligns itself with the mission of providing immigrants in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> with a greater number of resources that contribute to closing the geographic divide with more appropriate and equitable financial solutions. Through OKY, users can continue to participate and contribute in a meaningful way to the lives of those they had to leave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Suzuki is one of the most popular motorcycle brands in <span class=\"xn-location\">Guatemala<\/span>, and we are committed to the progress and economic development of the communities we serve. We are proud to be a part of the OKY network,&#8221; said Ing. <span class=\"xn-person\">Balmory Leck<\/span>, Suzuki Sales Manager in <span class=\"xn-location\">Guatemala<\/span>. &#8220;The work and dedication of the immigrant community in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> is admirable and we are confident that, together with OKY, we can continue to support and have a positive impact on the economic development and growth of their home countries,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p><b>ABOUT OKY<\/b><br \/><i>OKY was launched in summer of 2020 for immigrants and by immigrants, with the vision of helping underserved communities achieve financial equity and overcome common financial barriers through the use of technology.
