Remitly is proud to stand along with 9 other tech companies that are championing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace for 2020 and the future!
Right around 1 year ago, Remitly hired Kim Vu as our fearless leader and champion for all things related to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI). There is still more work for us as a company to do, but we definitely put in a lot of work this last year to promote, practice, and advocate for DEI. Kim was also recently recognized by Reverb as a "female firebrand" - a mission driven woman who stands up and speaks up for herself and others. She is a vocal advocate, amplifying people of all backgrounds and identities. Authentic. Kind. Collaborative. Resilient. Integrity is more important to her than going with the flow.
Our CFO, Susanna Morgan, along with other local CFOs, discusses how Remitly has been handling business since COVID-19 cases began to emerge. Remitly is lucky in that our business has actually accelerated at this time.
By widening their partner network, which includes Remitly, Vodacom Tanzania's customers were able to receive money from South Africa. As a company, we value these partnerships and the ways in which we are assisting customers across the globe in sending/receiving money.
Remitly is excited that our very own Shivaas Gulati has been named as one of the top 25 financial technology CTOs of 2020! As a cofounder of Remitly, he played a key role in building the global payments infrastructure and backend systems that makes Remitly?s services possible for their customers.
Launching Passbook, our product aimed at making banking more accessible and affordable to immigrants, in early 2020, is allowing us to sustain and drive additional growth for the business.
Read about how Remitly has been supporting our employees who have kids at home, as shared by our Global Head of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, Kim Vu. Being an "Empathetic Partner" (one of our cultural values) is so incredibly important during this time.
Remitly is so excited to announce that this latest round of funding will allow us to continue meeting our customers? broad set of financial needs, and providing affordable, convenient and secure solutions as we navigate this uncertain time and beyond.
Remitly, along with other companies such as Indeed, and Clover Health, joined a growing group of companies pledging a new embedded and progressive look at D&I in the workplace long before the BLM demonstrations began. In working alongside Crescendo, we have begun implementing new strategies to have meaningful, challenging conversations about different cultures and integrate this work into the culture of Remitly.
Yesterday was a big day for Remitly, and in particular our CEO, Matt Oppenheimer. He was awarded "Big Tech CEO of the Year" from the 2020 Geekwire Awards (for the Pacific Northwest's annual startup and technology companies). Winners are nominated and chosen by GW readers. A big congratulations to our fearless leader - a very well-deserved win indeed!
