Pomelo reposted this
Last week in San Francisco... 🕺 We gathered over 50 payment peers and partners during our annual networking event to talk all things real-time payments (RTPs), cross-border payments, digital currencies and stablecoins. Thunes has been in San Francisco for several years, and recently moved to a bigger and better office to support our growth. The Bay Area is an important hub as we support firms looking to expand with our jaw-dropping money movement capabilities--4B bank accounts and 3B digital wallets in 130+ countries using 85 currencies. Big thanks to those who joined, including Visa and Wells Fargo, and Eric Velasquez Frenkiel at Pomelo. 🤝 Frido Tober | Alora C. | Sung Hu Kim | Kevin Choi | Corrina Chow | Jim Schinella | Kunbi Oguneye | Antoinette O'Gorman | Ray Johnson | Nishkaam Mehta | Divyesh Juvariwala | James Sellick | Kash Baghaei | Charlie Jadallah | Jared Jones | Charlie Liu | Mauricio Comi | Michael Kaiser | Craig Gonzalez | Scott McArthur | Rocio Wu | Abhishek Sandhir | Basil Carr | Eric Kirk | Gabi D'Agosto | Mohit Gupta | Tesfaye Paine | Adity Tibrewala | David J.

Pomelo is excited to be partnered with Thunes, a global money movement innovator, as we continue to grow and expand our remittance services
🇵🇭 🤝 🇺🇲 Introducing a groundbreaking international money transfer solution to better connect communities in the US and Philippines. Thunes has partnered with Pomelo, a pioneering credit-powered remittance company and credit card issuer, to transform money transfers via our extensive network of digital wallets. We’re enabling Pomelo’s US customers to transfer money directly from a card into their family member’s GCash (Mynt - Globe Fintech Innovations, Inc.) accounts—one of the most important payment methods in the Philippines. 💸 The US-Philippines remittance corridor is one of the world's largest for cross-border payment flows. Together with Pomelo, we’re innovating in the remittance space, reducing costs and connecting families in new ways.

Our small but mighty Product team is growing! Apply here: https://lnkd.in/gGwRRGHG
I joined Pomelo two years ago after having been deeply inspired by the company’s mission to increase financial access and empowerment to immigrants and their loved ones back home. Since then, we’ve created the world’s first financial technology platform to combine credit with international remittances. Pomelo solves the worst aspects of traditional money transfer while helping people who’ve moved to this country to build credit and improve their own financial lives. We have big, ambitious goals for the $650+ billion global remittance market and have raised a significant round of funding that puts us in an incredible position to scale to the next stage of our journey. I’m looking for an outstanding product manager to join our growing team. Please reach out to me so we can talk more about the opportunity to build something special together at Pomelo. #pomelolife

We are excited to welcome our new Vice President of Engineering to the Pomelo team!
Thank you, Square and Cash App, for the wonderful 7 years! 🎊 It has been so rewarding to look back at all the impactful products we’ve launched to serve the community of small business owners and underbanked individuals. I’ve met and worked with extremely talented people during my time here and I have learned so much from them. I am incredibly grateful. 🙏 And the journey continues! I am thrilled to announce that today marks my Day 1 at Pomelo! I was immediately captivated by Eric Velasquez Frenkiel's founder story and Pomelo’s mission to support the community of immigrants who send money overseas to their family members while building credit in the US. 👨👩👧👦 This is the $500B+ problem space that affects billions of people worldwide. The traditional way of money transfer is exorbitantly expensive and antiquated; but instead, by extending credit to family instead of sending cash, customers save an average of $900/year with Pomelo. 💰 On top of this, use of the Pomelo Mastercard for remittances, purchases, and repayments are reported to the credit bureaus, which could help senders build credit. 💪 Pomelo is growing rapidly, both in product growth and the engineering team! 📈 I’m hiring software engineers and engineering managers to help scale this company to the next level! I invite you to reach out to me if you’re interested in learning about our team or even just to connect generally. 🤝 #fintech #hiring #engineering #leadership #opportunities #careergrowth #pomelolife
