Founded in 2014 by Drew Durbin and Lincoln Quirk, Sendwave was created with the mission to make sending money across borders as easy and affordable as sending a text. The service operates primarily through a smartphone app, eliminating the need for physical agent locations. It distinguishes itself by often offering fee-free transfers, generating revenue from the currency exchange rate spread. In 2021, Sendwave was acquired by WorldRemit for over $500 million, and both companies now operate under the parent group Zepz, continuing to serve diaspora communities worldwide.
