In El Salvador, like many Latin American countries, there are more mobile phones then land lines and this trend continues to grow exponentially.

Gregory Keough, Chairman and CEO, added “Immigrants in the US spend an inordinate amount of money on communications to stay in close contact with their friends and families back in their home countries. The majority of immigrants want to assure their families have a mobile phone and talk time so they can chat with them on a regular basis. The problem to date has been there is no way to send just a small amount of money and do so instantly. RegaloCard has solved this problem providing a free and instant solution while avoiding costly money transfer fees a real win for consumers.”
