The customer can now execute the same money transfer transaction at any participating agent of a money transfer company or bank powered by TransferOrbit without repeating the registration process. Members will benefit from $6.00 money transfers at any Promociones Valdivia event. Jorge Toro, President & CEO of TransferOrbit stated, "Much like credit or debit cardholders, a money transfer customer with TransferOrbit Membership can now use his or her membership at a broad network of agents and benefit from competitive fee discounts offered by many money transfer companies and banks. Any money transfer agent or bank can compete for these customers by becoming a member of TransferOrbit's network, and benefit from additional profit when a customer uses the membership across the network," added Toro.
