\"venture<\/a>Venture capital<\/strong> is seeing an opportunity to investment<\/strong> in startups developing new technologies for international money transfers that help to eliminate some of the forms, costs and timescales of traditional systems. In the last 2 years they have inverted<\/strong> $104M in 39 transactions according to cbinsights sources.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, international remittance customers have relied on physical-based companies for their transactions. The dominant player in this market has so far been Western Union, which today has a market capitalisation of more than $ 9.5B.<\/p>\n

Looking at year-on-year developments, business activity in the international money transfer space has increased by 60%. The successful IPO of money transfer services company Xoom Corp (backed by NEA and Sequoia Capital) in February may be one reason for the notable increase in business activity.<\/p>\n

Over the past two years, early stage deals (seed and Series A) have accounted for 79% of deal activity in the money transfer market. In fact, M&A activity in seed stage startups has accelerated by 160% on a year-over-year basis with new companies recently receiving investment<\/strong> as\u00a0TechStars grad Moni Technologies<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Azimo<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>funded by\u00a0e.ventures.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0En el crecimiento de la actividad en empresas fase semilla destaca la disminuci\u00f3n de la media y de la mediana del tama\u00f1o de las operaciones en los \u00faltimos trimestres.

\u00abEste efecto tambi\u00e9n ha sido generalizado en la inversi\u00f3n en startups que ha visto reducirse el importe de las\u00a0 operaciones a ambos lados del Atl\u00e1ntico.

Interestingly, most of the technology companies present in the international remittance sector are outside Silicon Valley, in fact, 50% is outside the North American technology hubs with a prominent presence from London with startups like\u00a0TransferWise,\u00a0<\/a>The Currency Cloud\u00a0<\/a><\/span>and\u00a0Azimo.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
