We are thrilled to announce a transformative new partnership between alfred and Western Union, a global powerhouse in cross-border money movement. This collaboration marks a pivotal evolution in our mission to build the foundational financial infrastructure for Latin America—bridging cutting-edge digital finance with the world’s most extensive and trusted physical network.

A New Bridge Between Digital Innovation and Global Access

This partnership is centered on integrating alfred’s unified payment rails with Western Union’s innovative Digital Asset Network (DAN). The DAN is designed to provide global coverage, allowing holders of digital wallets to seamlessly utilize Western Union’s fiat currency transmission capabilities.

For the fintechs, marketplaces, and enterprises powered by alfred, this integration unlocks a new dimension of utility and reach:

• Global Cash-Out Network: Users can effortlessly convert digital assets into local fiat currency and collect cash at over 350,000 Western Union agent locations worldwide. This bridges the gap between digital liquidity and physical economic participation.
• Compliant, Regulated Infrastructure: Transactions are facilitated through a compliance-aligned stablecoin strategy and robust KYC/AML frameworks. alfred’s API handles the complexity, ensuring every transaction meets the stringent standards required by global financial institutions.
• Simplified Technical Integration: Through a single, streamlined API, our partners gain access to this vast network, eliminating the need to build and manage disparate connections to physical cash-out points.

A Partnership Built on Trust, Compliance, and Operational Excellence

The collaboration follows a rigorous, multi-phase integration process that underscores our shared commitment to security and scalability:

• Structured Onboarding: The process encompasses comprehensive legal agreements, risk assessments, and compliance evaluations, ensuring all operations adhere to the highest global regulatory standards.
• API Integration Development: Alfred’s systems will connect with Western Union’s Account-Based Money Transfer (ABMT) platform, creating a seamless pipeline for secure transaction processing.
• Dedicated Support Framework: The partnership establishes a coordinated customer care model that combines alfred’s technical expertise with Western Union’s global operational support to ensure reliability and trust at every touchpoint.

The alfred Vision: Unlocking LATAM’s Economic Potential

This alliance is a direct embodiment of alfred’s core philosophy: that true financial innovation in Latin America must combine speed and technological sophistication with unwavering compliance and deep, practical accessibility. 

By merging alfred’s API-driven infrastructure with Western Union’s unparalleled global network, we are taking a significant step toward a future where cross-border payments are instant, secure, and universally accessible—empowering businesses and individuals across Latin America to operate and thrive on a truly global scale.

It’s time to build the connected financial ecosystem Latin America deserves.
