Western Union and Penny Pinch have joined forces to launch international money transfer services within the Penny Pinch app, offering customers in the Eastern Caribbean a seamless way to send and receive money globally.
Penny Pinch, the region’s leading digital wallet provider, now allows users to receive funds directly into their wallets through Western Union’s extensive global network, covering over 200 countries and territories. Customers can also transfer funds to bank accounts and mobile wallets worldwide or opt for cash pick-up at international locations.
“Strengthening Financial Connections Globally”
“Western Union has always been a strong supporter of the communities in St. Lucia and the Eastern Caribbean,” said Patrick Rawle, Western Union’s Vice President and General Manager for the Caribbean. “Our partnership with Penny Pinch aligns with our mission to make money movement easier, offering customers more choices through digital innovation and reliable services.”
This partnership builds on Western Union’s established presence in St. Lucia, enhancing its digital-first approach. It reflects the company’s commitment to product innovation, strategic partnerships with FinTechs, and scalable investments. Together, Western Union and Penny Pinch aim to expand financial inclusion and provide consumers with flexible, accessible services.
A New Era of Convenience
“At Penny Pinch, we’re transforming how people connect through payments,” said Martin Hanna, CEO of Penny Pinch. “Our goal is to offer seamless solutions that empower customers to manage their finances anytime, anywhere.”
In addition to international money transfers, Penny Pinch users enjoy a range of services, including cashback, retailer rewards, exclusive coupons, and secure cashless payments.
