TADIAS: Taptap Send is also the first platform to specifically focus on Remittances from the Diaspora to people back home. You’re done! The funds will be deposited directly into your loved ones account that day. The recipient does not need a Taptap Send account. How it works is simple, a user in the US just needs to download the Taptap Send app from the Apple Store or Google Play, upload their bank or debit card details, then select a recipient in Ethiopia. We’re live in the UK, EU, US and Canada, and we support payments into Ethiopia and 21 other countries with more countries launching soon. We just raised $65 million in a Series B funding. Since launching in summer 2018, we’ve already moved tens of millions of dollars and reached tens of thousands of customers. Helen: Taptap Send is an app that lets people send money back home to Africa and Asia quickly and at very low prices. TADIAS: Please tell us about Taptap Send and its recently launched mobile money transfer service to Ethiopia. The work is incredibly rewarding, through connecting people to remittance services I am able to help folks get money to loved ones back home, and beyond the individual, I get to help the larger Ethiopian economy. Through this role I am able to apply my skill set to serve Ethiopians not only in the diaspora, but those directly on the continent as well. My work as US-Ethiopia Launcher at Taptap Send is an extension of that service. From my positions working in local government here in California, to the work I do through the Ethiopian Democratic Club of Los Angeles, the focus is always on serving my community.
