The story

Grabr started as a peer-to-peer cross-border shopping marketplace connecting international shoppers with travelers willing to deliver goods. It has since extended into embedded finance via GrabrFi, a USD-denominated banking and stablecoin wallet product targeting the 120M+ people locked out of US banking — pivoting the company from a pure marketplace into a cross-border fintech serving freelancers, remote workers, and global earners.
