Sending money back home to Mexico is nothing new for Juan Mena. He’s lived in Chicago for 31 years, but his wife and sister still live back home in Tonalpa del Rio, Guerrero, Mexico. Juan frequently sends them money to help out with their daily needs—and in the past, he used Western Union, MoneyGram and Vigo to do so.

Then he learned about Pangea Money Transfer. Juan has now been a happy Pangea user for the past few months and is planning to continue using the mobile app. He considers Pangea to be the easiest and cheapest way to send money to his loved ones. And the Pangea app does more than save him time and money. He’s also certain that in an emergency, he could use it to get money to his family in minutes.

Now that Juan doesn’t have to wait in line or deal with poor customer service, his life is much simpler, he says.

“With Pangea’s service I can send money from my phone while at work. I no longer have to leave the office. It is as if I live next to my wife and sister and I am just asking them to come pick it up. With Pangea I no longer stress out.”
