Also, they can easily repeat a transaction with just a few clicks. The redesigned website provides easier access to estimated transfer fees, increasing transparency and ease-of-use for money transfer planning.

The app and the online platform are available in 24 countries and in the second quarter, its non-U.S. online transaction growth was more than 100% year over year.
Through its digital business, the company is entering new markets with disruptive introductory pricing. It has lowered prices in its legacy markets, which will result in revenue growth headwinds, but it continue to attract a completely new customer base for the MoneyGram brand.

(PYPL - Free Report) , Square Inc (SQ - Free Report) and others offering similar services at very affordable rates, thus intensifying competition. Peer Western Union Co. (WU - Free Report) has been pursuing technological investments after facing the same ordeal.
Recently, Moneygram entered into a pact with Ripple, the provider of solutions for global payments on blockchain technology.
The deal will allow MoneyGram to leverage Ripple’s product named XRapid in effectuating cross-border payments. The same will be done at lower cost and higher speed by the use of RippleNet, a network of more than 200 banks and payment providers, which makes it easy to connect and transact across the world.
