MOIN EXPANDS ITS HORIZONS WITH GLOBAL B2B REMITTANCE COVERAGE FOR INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES

Background

Founded in 2016, MOIN is a South Korean cross-border payment service provider that simplifies and reduces the cost of international transactions for both individuals and businesses. The company offers peer-to-peer remittance services to and from over 47 countries worldwide.

Initially, MOIN catered to Korean families sending money abroad for their children’s education and expatriates in Korea remitting earnings home. After achieving success in the consumer market, MOIN expanded into the business-to-business (B2B) sector, supported by Currencycloud, which provided the necessary platform and global payment network to meet their growing needs.

Challenge

As MOIN expanded into the B2B payments space, it encountered multiple challenges that hindered its growth. Traditional issues such as high transaction costs, slow processing times, and opaque exchange rates and fees were significant barriers.

“These challenges limited our ability to compete effectively and meet our customers’ expectations for fast, affordable, and transparent cross-border payment services. Additionally, they led to increased costs and extended transaction times, restricting our operational efficiency and scalability,” said Ilseok Suh, CEO of MOIN.

MOIN required a strategic partner that could provide access to a global payment network, enhance its existing offerings, and support the expansion of its cross-border payments and foreign exchange (FX) services.

Solution

In its search for a partner with strong technological capabilities, deep industry expertise, and extensive global reach, MOIN evaluated several payment platforms before choosing Currencycloud. Ultimately, the decision was influenced by Currencycloud’s industry reputation and the alignment of its solutions with MOIN’s requirements.

“Currencycloud’s global coverage, competitive FX rates, and robust APIs matched our strategic focus on customer satisfaction, innovation, and regulatory compliance,” said Suh.

Integrating Currencycloud’s APIs into its platform, MOIN successfully automated and enhanced its cross-border payment processes. Initial efforts to align both technologies were swiftly addressed with the expert assistance of Currencycloud’s customer support and solutions team, ensuring a seamless operational transition.

“Currencycloud’s main goal is to support MOIN in reducing unnecessary remittance-associated costs for its individual and business customers. We achieved this by equipping MOIN with the ability to respond to fluctuations in the FX market 24/7 through the Currencycloud platform,” said Rohit Narang, Managing Director, APAC at Currencycloud.

“Our collaboration with Currencycloud has been crucial in driving innovation and achieving high customer satisfaction as we scale our business."
