We created SendVia for the Senders of the world — those who send money, boxes, mobile airtime, and more — and for their loved ones back home. We empower Senders to build thriving and resilient families across borders, allowing you to choose how you send care when you can’t be there.
We do this via our online store, where diaspora community members can select from a variety of care-centered products and services to send to their families and friends abroad. SendVia works with trusted and carefully vetted partners in the receiving country to ensure the quality and security of the support you’re sending your loved ones.
About Us
Redefining how you support your family and friends back home
Our "why"
Our values
What we offer, who we partner with, and how we communicate with our customers are guided by the following values:
Transformative.
We focus on enabling Senders to take control of their family’s and their own well-being, make informed decisions, and protect their loved ones’ future. We empower Senders and their families to become more resilient, being able to bounce back from the unexpected and be better prepared for life’s challenges.
Trustworthy.
Based on SendVia’s networks globally, we carefully vet and select trusted and quality partners who offer products that can be relied on for every moment. We prioritize secure and transparent systems so Senders know what they are purchasing and when their loved one will receive it.
Thoughtful.
SendVia curates meaningful, supportive, and practical solutions — beyond the traditional money transfer — so that Senders can take better care of their loved ones while providing them with peace of mind.
Inclusive.
We are a platform for families and friends living across international borders. We know living internationally is hard, complex, and filled with many unknowns. We simplify complex processes so that individuals of all cultures and backgrounds can be cared for through our products.
Meet our team
With social impact as our motivator, the SendVia team came together to answer a question: Could international money transfers be harnessed in a different way to promote greater resilience and intentionality, for both senders and receivers? We discovered very few alternatives to sending cash and wanted to create compelling options for diaspora communities to support loved ones back home, in a caring and proactive way.
