partnerships with local banks in origin countries such as the Philippines,

a fair digital banking platform accessible for everyone, wherever they may be
in the world. We have seen a surge in global migration in recent years and
identified an opportunity where Rewire can provide an efficient, transparent
and affordable international banking platform for migrants which have
previously been disadvantaged by banking systems. With our vision to support
and fulfil the financial potential of each migrant and their family, this investment
further demonstrates the confidence of leading global financial institutions
that are committed to creating a meaningful change to migrants' lives in a
short period of time."

Co-Founder, Viola Fintech Fund, commented:

"With this being our second
investment to this fund, we continue to express our investment portfolio
beliefs which are based on the principle of Fintegration, meaning cooperation
between financial institutions with fintech companies. This investment reflects
our principle of operation, which directly connects investors in the fund with
the creation of value for the companies in which we invest. Rewire has
succeeded in creating a solution for the target community that greatly needs
this type of resolution, while winning favour with banks and educating them as
to how they can best serve this community and expand their activities.

In support of their
European operations, Rewire recently opened offices in Amsterdam. Newly
appointed, Alex Bakir will build the team and lead expansion efforts in Europe.
Rewire currently employs community managers representing migrants in Europe and
is expected to grow their staff by 40% in the next year with a focus on
expanding the R&D team.
