“This achievement represents an important milestone and significant opportunity for MoneyGram’s continued growth globally and in the Asia Pacific region in particular,” said Nick Cunnew, MoneyGram’s vice president for Asia Pacific. “Bank of China is a globally recognized brand with an incredible reach in the world’s second largest remittance receives market.” Lina Zheng, Regional Director of China and Mongolia, said, “With the solid basis we have built, MoneyGram will deepen the cooperation with Bank of China to provide more convenient international remittance services for Chinese customers around the world.”
