Acknowledging its expertise in the delivery of money transfer capabilities for unbanked customers, MoneyGram, together with the already locally situated SEBL, will now transport its services to Bangladesh, a country that has thousands of citizens working and living abroad. With MoneyGram  in almost 200 countries globally and 10% of Bangladeshi GDP coming from migrant workers during the 2012-2013 fiscal year, the need for this collaboration is apparent.
