From June 1st, 2022, UK based global fintech payment platform, Crosspay, secures the UK retail money transfer business from iFast Global Bank.

 

Crosspay, a multi-utility cross-border digital payment solutions provider, is now entering the retail sphere. Crosspay’s founders are well established in the elite money transfer world, having previously pioneered several money transfer solutions that are now widely utilized in the industry. Crosspay group has secured the UK Retail Money Transfer business from iFast Global Bank/EZRemit in the latest development to further expand its range of services.

Crosspay History:
Rakesh Kurian, Crosspay’s CEO, previously worked for industry leaders like UAE Exchange, Xpress Money, Orient Exchange Hong Kong, and BFC; he moved to the UK 22 years ago to establish EZRemit UK, setting up its retail locations. The money transfer retail business and the online platform EzRemit eventually grew to become a UK bank. Rakesh Kurian exited BFC Bank in 2015 to start Crosspay as a global cutting-edge digital solutions provider. Meanwhile, in March 2022, BFC Bank was purchased by a Singapore-based company, iFast Global Bank Ltd.

From June 1st 2022, Crosspay agreed to purchase the retail business division from iFast Global Bank. The BFC group’s money transfer product is EZRemit, which Rakesh Kurian co-founded and launched in the United Kingdom in 2005, having set up most UK retail locations; Crosspay has now acquired. Things seem to have come full circle.

The same staff and locations will continue for money remittances and currency exchanges for BFC Bank’s retail customers, just under the Crosspay name and payments platform.

We have taken our collective knowledge and connections to build this technology platform, which provides the backbone of our services.
