A UK based money transfer company will launch a mobile money transfer process that will allow customers to transfer money to the mobiles of family and friends in Sri Lanka.
The company “WorldRemit” estimated that at least US $ 7 billion was sent back to Sri Lanka in 2014 by its diaspora, reports The Economic Times of India.
A senior mobile analyst at WorldRemit, Alex Murphy, said,
“We already offer mobile-to-mobile money transfers for countries as far flung as Ghana, Indonesia and Fiji.”
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
