GlobeTel Communications Corp. yesterday announced the launch of its money remittance service program offered in conjunction with Travelex Currency Services, Inc.

 

Fidelity Express has deployed GlobeTel's technology to enable remittance functions for its growing merchant base of more than 5,000 locations in 22 states.

 

Industry reports shows that at least 20 percent of the U.S. population pays its bills in person, in retail locations across the nation. One of the payment location providers of Fidelity Express reported that 66 percent of all people who come into its stores pay their bills to buy something.

 

“Creating a one-stop shopping experience for our customers is consistent with the GlobeTel mission of providing unmatched expediency and convenience for anyone, anywhere at any time. This consistency follows through from our communications platforms and delivery systems to our remittance technologies,” said Timothy Huff, CEO of GlobeTel in the press release.

“Offering money remittance adds a product to our services that exactly meets the needs of many of our current customers and will attract many new customers to Fidelity Express locations, further increasing customer traffic and generating additional revenue for our retailers,” added Pat Odom, Division Manager of Fidelity Express.

 

“Money orders, in-person bill payment and other Point Of Sale financial services offer a valuable service to consumers, while at the same time help to increase customer traffic and generate additional revenue for our retailers.”
