New exchange and remittance shops in my city
New money transfer and exchange shops in your city, every week.
What it does
Every week: money transfer and currency exchange shops that opened in the last year, only the new ones, emailed and mapped.
In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in Dubai and Sharjah, find money transfer services and currency exchange services in the area, keep only new ones, then email the list to you and show them on a map.
Why it is useful
Remittance is a neighbourhood business. A new rival two streets away changes a branch's week; you hear about it the week it opens.
Who it is for
Banks, lenders & insurance. Banks, lenders, insurers and payment companies finding merchants, checking risk and planning branches. Every use case for banking & lending
Best use cases
- A remittance company
- An exchange house
- A bank serving migrant workers
What each run gives you
- An email with the list
- A map of the results
The time it saves
Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 30 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
