ABOUT US
The International Association of Money Transfer Networks (IAMTN) is the leading global platform dedicated to advancing cross-border payments and financial inclusion. Since our founding in 2005 by Veronica Studsgaard, we have been at the forefront of fostering collaboration between the private sector, regulators, policymakers, and development organisations to build a more inclusive, efficient, and accessible global financial ecosystem.
IAMTN fosters inclusive growth and financial stability by bridging the gap between the public and private sectors. We create a collaborative platform for dialogue, innovation, and action to advance global financial inclusion. Working closely with cross-border payment providers, regulators, and development partners, we strive to enhance payment systems, reduce the cost of remittances, and expand access to affordable, secure, and transparent financial services for underserved and vulnerable communities worldwide, supporting sustainable development and economic resilience.
Our platform is a hub for knowledge sharing, policy advocacy, and industry innovation. IAMTN drives forward-thinking solutions that empower individuals, businesses, and economies by bringing together stakeholders from every corner of the payments ecosystem.
Joining IAMTN is essential for private-sector leaders who want to shape the future of the cross-border payments industry, for policymakers striving to create enabling regulatory frameworks, and for donors committed to supporting financial inclusion initiatives that lift millions out of poverty.
