Industry

ACE Money Transfer is an international digital remittance platform operating across high-volume corridors including the UK, Europe, Australia, and Pakistan. Growth depended on trust, regulatory alignment, cost efficiency, and sustained user adoption across competitive markets.

Challenge

ACE Money Transfer operated in a highly regulated, trust-sensitive category, where customer acquisition costs were rising and differentiation was difficult. Growth across corridors required localized strategies, regulatory compliance, and sustained brand credibility.

Fintech / Digital Remittance

Overview

A full-funnel strategy was designed around performance efficiency, trust-building, and geographic precision:

• Built corridor-specific growth strategies aligned to user behavior, compliance requirements, and media economics

• Launched national awareness campaigns in partnership with financial institutions to strengthen trust and legitimacy

• Integrated PR, ATL, OOH, SEO, and performance marketing into a unified acquisition system

• Deployed data-driven lifecycle marketing to improve retention, reduce churn, and increase customer lifetime value

• Optimized attribution and performance measurement to guide spend allocation and corridor prioritization

Approach

The strategy balanced scale with sustainability, ensuring growth did not compromise efficiency.

At the same time, the business needed to:

• Scale monthly active users across multiple regions

• Increase transaction frequency and lifetime value

• Reduce acquisition costs while maintaining growth velocity

• Strengthen industry positioning against global competitors

The objective was to build a scalable, corridor-led growth engine that delivered efficiency, retention, and long-term brand equity.

Corridor-Led Growth Strategy

Trust, PR & Institutional Partnerships

Advanced segmentation and retargeting strategies improved transaction frequency and retention. Campaigns were optimized not just for acquisition, but for long-term value and usage depth.
