South African-Based Fintech, Xago, Launches XGB, Enabling End-to-End British Pound Transfers within Minutes

June 23, 2022 By Business Wire

CAPE TOWN, South Africa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Africa--Xago Technologies (Pty) Ltd. in CAPE TOWN, South Africa, announces support for the British Pound with its stable coin XGB which is backed 1:1 with the Pound, enabling clients across the world to purchase GBP, transfer and reach its pay-out point within minutes, highly securely, compliantly and with certainty.

Their latest product is a white-labelled international money transfer solution developed specifically for banks and retailers to offer a faster and cheaper option, especially for their clients to be able to send money home to their families.

Mark Chirnside, CEO and Co-founder of Xago, says, “Current international money transfer often take days for money to move from sender to recipient, with no confirmation on transaction finality and fees from all the parties involved can cost well above 10%, especially evident in sub-Saharan Africa. With Xago, it now takes minutes, and we are proud to say that our low fees are disrupting the global payments and money transfer industry.”
