Phnom Penh, February 2018// Cambodian workers and people living in South Korea will be able to have additional choice on sending money back to Cambodia with Wing and GME Remittance.

The two money transfer companies have teamed up to offer the fast and convenient service yet without the need for a bank account or endless paperwork.

With the new partner, the choices for transferring money to Cambodia provides financial freedom and becoming easier. Providing an inclusive financial solution for the 50,000 or so Cambodian migrant workers legally living and working in South Korea has always been one of the important consideration of Wing and GME Remittance.

Cambodians in South Korea will be able to send money back home by using the GME Remittance App, which provides a secure way to get cash to family and loved ones fast. Money can be seamlessly transferred between the two countries without fuss.

Cambodian migrant workers in South Korea sent home $260 million in 2017, according to the Ministry of Labour.

Workers can send up to $1,000 a time with attractive, affordable fees.

And as the transfer runs in the banking system, only the recipient will be able to collect the transferred cash at the other end, providing peace of mind to the sender.
