Bringing global remittance expertise onchain

MoneyGram moves money for over 50 million customers across more than 200 countries and territories. With decades of experience operating at that scale, MoneyGram has built deep expertise in navigating dozens of regulatory regimes, managing settlement flows across hundreds of currencies, and delivering the operational reliability required by people who depend on those transfers every day.

That's exactly why MoneyGram is building with Tempo: to bring that expertise into the next generation of global payments and help power faster, more efficient settlement flows at global scale.

What MoneyGram is building with Tempo

The partnership has two dimensions.

MoneyGram is joining Tempo's network as its first remittance validator, among a select group of institutions designated to validate transactions on the network. After 5+ years of building on blockchain rails, MoneyGram is now helping to secure the infrastructure it builds on.

On settlement, MoneyGram, Tempo, and Stripe plan to bring stablecoin settlement into live flows, with Stripe to settle to MoneyGram through Tempo using onchain infrastructure. This will enable more efficient treasury operations across MoneyGram's global footprint.

As stablecoins and blockchain technology become more deeply integrated into mainstream financial services, MoneyGram is actively building the next era of payments infrastructure. Tempo, as a purpose-built blockchain for payments that shares our focus on solving real consumer problems, is a natural partner.

Why Tempo

Tempo was built for the use cases MoneyGram runs every day: high-volume cross-border transfers, stablecoin-denominated settlement, and the operational reliability required to serve tens of millions of customers.

As the partnership deepens, MoneyGram and Tempo will explore additional corridors, settlement flows, and integrations across the crypto ecosystem.
