Brightwell meeting remittance needs of overseas workers
Over the past decade we have seen many examples of how new companies employ technology to improve the financial lives of very specific demographics. Brightwell is one such company, and they are solving the financial challenges experienced by overseas workers.
CEO Mike Gaburo
Brightwell was born a decade ago as a prepaid card initiative of a Chicago-based bank, CEO Mike Gaburo said. Over time they realized many industries attract workers from around the globe who face unique challenges in sending their money back home, so the concept was spun out from the bank and developed as its own business, an aggregator of cross-border payment options providing access to companies like Transpay, Cambridge, Western Union and MoneyGram.
