MOIN

Can a Korea-licensed cross-border remitter become the default outbound-payments rail for Korean consumers and SMBs by stitching together multiple global payout networks (Nium + Currencycloud + Wise Platform) behind a single localized UX?

The story

Founded 2016 as a consumer remittance app for Korean diaspora payments — students, expats, working-holiday-goers — undercutting bank FX margins with a digital-first experience. Subsequently expanded into B2B with MOIN BizPlus, leveraging dual Korean licenses (PG + specialized FX) to enable uncapped invoice-backed corporate transfers, and grew that business past 5,000 enterprise customers. The current strategic posture is corridor expansion and payout speed: stacking Currencycloud, Wise Platform, and an expanded Nium partnership to offer USD payouts to 181 countries and sub-20-second settlement on supported routes.
