MoneyGram further revealed that the partnership with E9Pay would especially benefit consumers who send money between Southeast Asia, Russia, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), which are considered the main corridors for E9Pay.
While sharing more details about the partnership, Alex Holmes MoneyGram, Chairman, and CEO, stated:
“As we continue to manage the ongoing COVID-19 situation closely, we’re also continuing to push forward on our strategy. E9Pay has a strong culture of innovation with a loyal customer base of avid users, and this partnership enables E9Pay customers to access to our global platform, including our account deposit capabilities.”

“We believe the best way to reach and help our customers is through collaboration with the prestigious MoneyGram brand. E9Pay firmly expects to continue to develop mutually beneficial business through strategic partnerships with MoneyGram.”
The partnership with E9Pay comes just days after MoneyGram announced it has entered into a partnership with the Federal Bank Limited – a private bank in India. The company revealed at the time that the collaboration would see its services made available for the bank’s customers in India. Federal Bank has a branch network of 1,276 branches, and 1,937 ATMs/Recyclers spread across the country.
Before joining forces with E9Pay, the popular money transfer service had also secured other strategic partnerships in the region, with other fintech companies such as Korea Post and Sentbe.
