Yezzi

Yezzi is a socially-oriented money transfer platform designed specifically for underbanked consumers to send remittances to their families back in their home countries. Instead of going to traditional money transfer shops, Yezzi’s platform allows consumers to set up and manage their accounts on their smartphones or online and pay for their money transfers in cash at their favorite retailers across the Unites States without the need for a bank account or credit card. Families are able to receive their money in cash at thousands of major retail locations and banks or on a prepaid card delivered to their homes. Yezzi was launched in 2011 and is based in Chicago, Illinois.
