Abra blockchain remittance app now available for consumers in the US

Abra announced that the Abra smartphone app is now available on iPhone and Android in the United States.

Now, anyone with the Abra app in the US or the Philippines can send money for free to anyone else with the app by funding their Abra wallet (buying digital cash) with their bank account. This release is the next step in taking Abra global.

“It’s really the hub for us for going global. The initial focus for Abra is on cross-border, phone-to-phone transfers. The US is a key hub for that. We have worked diligently and make sure we’re ready to go, and we’re launching the bank in and out,” said Abra CEO Bill Barhydt.

Barhydt added that Abra has begun the process of deploying its retail teller network, starting with the Philippines and has pre-registrations for Abra Tellers in over 75 countries.

Abra is a blockchain powered digital wallet.
