BOSS Money Expands Remittance Service to Venezuela, Brazil, and Eritrea
Zero-fee App Transfers to Venezuela
New Funding Option for Retail Customers
Newark, NJ, Jan. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BOSS Money, the remittance and payments brand of IDT Corporation (NYSE:IDT), today announced three new destination countries - Venezuela, Brazil, and Eritrea - and expanded payment options for customers sending money from BOSS Money retailer locations.
BOSS Money customers in the USA can now send cash directly to the accounts of family and friends at 34 of the largest Venezuelan banks including Banco Bicentenario, Banco de Venezuela, Banco Nacional de Crédito, Banco Occidental de Descuento (BOD), Banesco, BBVA Provincial, and Mercantil Banco.
Through July 31, 2025, BOSS Money is offering customers in the USA zero-fee transfers up to $500 to Venezuela on the BOSS Money and BOSS Revolution calling apps.
In the coming weeks, BOSS Money will launch money transfers to South America's largest nation, Brazil, via Pix, Brazil's national rapid payment ecosystem.
BOSS Money also continues to expand options for payouts in Africa. In addition to launching service to Eritrea, it recently added direct deposit to mobile wallets in Ethiopia (Amole and Telebirr) and Liberia (Orange Money).
"By making money transfers more convenient, fast and reliable, and by offering our service to more destinations, we're empowering our customers to support friends and family around the world," said Michelle Rendo, VP Marketing for BOSS Money.
Along with its payout network expansion, BOSS Money now offers customers the option of using their debit cards to fund transfers at select BOSS Money retail agents. Debit card funding will be available at all BOSS Money retailers nationwide in the coming months.
BOSS Money's expansion follows a record holiday season for the popular service. In December 2024, it handled over 2 million transfers, an all-time monthly record.
New customers can try BOSS Money with two zero-fee transfers (up to $2,999*) on the BOSS Money and BOSS Revolution apps. Customers sending to Mexico on either app will receive five zero-fee transfers.*
