At its 2013 Consumer Protection & Compliance Conference last month, executives gave a presentation that said it wasn’t yet suitable for international money transfer. ‘My audience and the discussion for this slide was about retail consumer money transfer – remittances,’ said Jay Postma, president of MSB Compliance Inc, a company that consults on compliance issues for money service businesses.
