Purpl, a remittance and cash out aggregator combined with a digital wallet for Lebanon, today announced it has selected Mambu to scale operations in the region. Purpl recognised the need for an ecosystem designed to leverage new technologies. Mambu’s cloud platform will underpin the fintech’s offering as it evolves products and services based on customer needs.
Purpl is the technology hub between remittance and cash-out partners, promising low fees on the sender side and no cash-out fees on the beneficiary side. Through the app and Purpl’s remittance partners, users can send and receive money in Lebanon, triggering an SMS alerting beneficiaries of incoming funds. Users then follow a simple sign-up flow, which includes a one-time e-KYC process, before cashing out at a number of locations throughout the country. The startup has plans to expand its partner network to over 800 cash-out points, including 190 ATMs in Lebanon.
