Zepz

This week marks an important moment for Zepz and for me personally. As Barrie Morris steps into the role of Interim Chief Executive Officer, I do so with a strong sense of responsibility and focus.

Zepz says the global payments system has overlooked the challenges people face when sending, receiving and managing money across borders, and is largely built by and for the Global North.

The United Nations marks the International Day of Education on 24 January. Its theme, “The power of youth in co-creating education”, highlights young people’s role in shaping education and the continuing nature of learning.

In 2025, the company says it strengthened the platforms supporting WorldRemit and Sendwave, focusing on safety, trust, reliability and a simpler customer experience.

Zepz says younger, digitally native people are driving global money movement. Women account for almost half of remittance senders, who are managing financial responsibilities across multiple households and countries.

Zepz launched the Sendwave Wallet, a globally accessible stablecoin-backed peer-to-peer cross-border money solution. The digital wallet lets customers send, store and spend funds in more than 100 countries.

The company seeks people who challenge the status quo and aim to make a positive impact on customers’ lives.

An employee at Zepz moved from a People Business Partner role supporting teams across regions to People Operations, where they work on projects to improve the employee experience and processes.

The company describes a collaborative work environment in which teams across locations work together to solve problems and serve customers.

A Global Talent Acquisition Lead says the role involves hiring across functions and regions, including legal, finance, marketing and technology.

Financial inclusion is about expanding access in a way that is useful, practical and built around the reality of people’s lives. Financial Inclusion Week is a useful moment to ask what that means in practice.

The company aims to make transfers faster and fairer, supporting connections such as parents paying school fees, families staying connected and communities prospering.
