“Canada is among the most immigrant-reliant advanced economies, attracting people from all around the world. As a result, there is a growing need for better, safer money transfer solutions for those who need to send money to their family, friends and loved ones,” said Timur Shomansurov, Country Manager of Paysend in Canada. “Joining Fintechs Canada will help contribute to our mission of helping Canadians connect globally and providing cost-effective money transfer services that are convenient and accessible.”
