The firm serves global customers who tend to be immigrants and who live in places like Mexico, India, and the Philippines. While speaking about blockchain for financial institutions, Mr.Matthew says;

“When I thought a lot about Bitcoin, especially as I was building the business, I was like, I always come back to the customers and say, what is the customer value. The customers could be someone like us, like Ripple could be an example, we could integrate with Ripple, that’s the one that we pay a lot of attention to, or the customer could be an end consumer.”

He further seeks to determine the best ways to leverage blockchain technology to help Remitly cut down the cost and enable payment service less expensive for the customer. Matthew while addressing the audience further notes that ‘Or I see to faster to your ACH point’

Although Remitly CEO is optimistic about blockchain technology, on the other hand, he is less bullish on digital currency.
