WorldRemit, the London based money transfer startuphas raised a $45m round from TriplePoint Venture Growth and Silicon Valley Bank,
In the last year, WorldRemit has been working on licenses to add more sending regions to its network. It is now active in some 40 U.S. states and will be adding more key markets soon (one huge state it has yet to tackle, for example, is California). On the receiving end, WorldRemit is focusing on mobile money services: these are the agreements between carriers and mobile money operators that let residents in many developing countries use their mobile numbers (and mobile phones) effectively as proxy bank accounts.
