💙 For millions of families around the world, remittances are more than transactions - they’re lifelines. A new U.S. News & World Report article highlights the impact of a planned 1% U.S. tax on remittances from January 1, 2026. For many hardworking migrants - often low-income individuals already contributing so much to the U.S. economy - this change could make it even harder to support loved ones back home. 💬 In the article, our CEO Mark Lenhard shares his concern that those who can least afford it may be hit the hardest. He also shares practical tips for avoiding unnecessary fees, and points to the innovations we’re exploring at Zepz - from digital transfers to exploring Stablecoin - to help families not only send money abroad, but also preserve its value in places with volatile currencies. At Zepz, our focus has always been simple: to stand with the global diaspora and make it easier, fairer, and more affordable to care for the people who matter most. 👉 Read the full article by Banking Reporter, Greg Garrison here: https://lnkd.in/gE-Tx3A6 #Remittances #FinancialInclusion #GlobalDiaspora #FintechForGood #Fintech

💡 Today is Financial Awareness Day! It's a moment to reflect on how people everywhere manage, move, and make the most of their money. For millions around the world, financial awareness starts with something very personal: sending money home. Every remittance is a financial decision rooted in care. It means balancing present needs with long-term goals, and navigating complex systems to make sure support reaches loved ones safely and affordably. On Financial Awareness Day, we’re spotlighting the role remittances play in building financial resilience. For many migrants and their families, they are: 📌 A lifeline during crisis 📌 A tool for education, health, and opportunity 📌 A pathway to financial inclusion in both home and host countries At Zepz, we believe better financial futures are built on access, trust, and respect for the real lives behind every transaction. 🌍 #FinancialAwarenessDay #Remittances #Zepz #fintech

⚙️ What if some of the most meaningful fintech shifts aren’t about new apps but better infrastructure? Last week, we announced that Zepz has partnered with Circle to integrate stablecoins into its remittance operations. As Zepz CEO Mark Lenhard describes: “While our customers have always experienced near-instant money transfers, the same efficiency hasn’t applied to our backend settlement processes. We believe stablecoins can help to bridge this gap." 💡Condia (formerly, Bendada.com) captured the current market conversation, highlighting how stablecoins are gaining traction not just as speculative assets, but as tools to modernize real-world financial infrastructure. 🔧 App-level innovation matters. But sometimes, it’s the invisible infrastructure upgrades that move the industry forward. Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/eiqVM_zJ #Remittances #Stablecoins #USDC #Zepz #fintech

💡 What if one of the world’s most powerful economic forces wasn’t coming from governments or institutions, but from migrants? That’s the story our CEO Mark Lenhard tells in his latest American Banker article, and the numbers speak for themselves: 🌍 In 2024, African countries received $92B in remittances, more than three times the amount of foreign aid 💸 Latin America and the Caribbean saw $161B flow home 📈 In some economies, remittances make up 20% of GDP These aren’t small or side transactions, they’re essential lifelines, paying for school fees, medical care, homes, and businesses. And yet, they’re still costly, misunderstood, and often overlooked by governments and banks. As Mark Lenhard writes: “Every remittance carries more than money. It’s an act of love, resilience, and continuity.” Curious what needs to change and how fintech can lead the way? 📖 Dive into the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/eUHaVqSY #MigrationMatters #Zepz #Remittances #FintechForGood #AmericanBanker

What a week at the very first SXSW London! A brilliant European debut for a global festival in the heart of Shoreditch. 🎤 We were proud to see our CEO, Mark Lenhard, join an incredible panel of fintech leaders: Harriet Rees (Starling Bank), Sean Hederman (Zilch), and Peter Briffett (Wagestream), expertly moderated by Susanne Chishti (FINTECH Circle), for a wide-ranging conversation on “Going Overground: London’s Next Fintech Leap.” The session brought forward bold ideas; from AI infrastructure to the role of purpose and diversity in scaling UK fintech globally. A few thoughts shared from Zepz:  ✈️ Fintech’s next leap must serve those often overlooked: the migrant communities quietly powering economies, supporting families, and moving billions across borders. 🪙 Harnessing technologies like stablecoins will reimagine what cross-border payments can be - faster, cheaper, more transparent, and built with trust at their core. 🌎 Driving digital inclusion across global corridors, from East London to Nairobi, Manila and Accra doesn't just move money, but moves people forward. #SXSWLondon #FintechWithPurpose #Remittances #FinancialInclusion #Zepz
