MoneyGram’s growth has been driven by strong demand for its leading mobile app and strong customer retention rates, which have combined to deliver market-leading monthly growth rates in monthly active users. Additionally, the  recently announced MoneyGram Data Index results further highlight the robustness of the MoneyGram experience, as customers cited “speed,” “convenience,” and “ease” as the top reasons for switching to MoneyGram last year.
Holmes concluded: “As we focus on the strategy of scaling our digital business, we invest to drive growth by prioritizing putting the customer at the center of everything we do. Our strategy is delivering strong financial results and creating tremendous value both for Customers as well as stakeholders. I am excited about our ability to maintain this strong momentum. ”
