Xoom.com Named Best Money Transfer Company, also Ranked Highest in Customer Satisfaction
Report also reveals that remittance industry to Latin America faces increased competition
SAN FRANCISCO – June 24, 2010 – As market conditions are making it easier and less costly to send money home for immigrants in the U.S., the Inter-American Dialogue released a report showing that remittance service providers are offering a wider variety of services and are expanding into more countries. The study, A Scorecard in the Market for Money Transfers, conducted by the Inter-American Dialogue (IAD), the premier U.S. center for analyzing remittance trends and services, also found an increase in product services such as cash-to-cash and cash-to-bank account as companies seek to be more competitive.
The study released on June 18, 2010, measuring 16 indicators, ranked Xoom.com as the best company for sending money transfers to Latin America and the Caribbean, outperforming 38 other leading U.S.-based money transfer companies. Xoom.com also received the highest score for customer satisfaction.
Some of the report’s key findings include the high value consumers place on transparency and inexpensiveness when sending their remittances. “Consumers want to easily be able to see the fees they are paying and the exchange rate their loved ones will be receiving,” said Dr. Manuel Orozco, Director of the Remittances and Development Program at the IAD. “In addition, they of course want to pay the lowest fees. Surprisingly, it looks like consumers are embracing some
emerging companies that are doing a good job in these categories. In many categories these
companies are earning higher marks than some traditional industry players,” said Orozco.
Xoom.com received the highest scores in both transparency and inexpensiveness. Among the 39 companies in the study, Xoom.com is the only money transfer company that does not require an agent or branch location to send money. Customers use the Internet to enter the monetary amount and beneficiary information, select the country and pay partner, pay for the transaction using a checking account or credit card, and even track the transaction. Consumers are also able to see the fee and foreign exchange rate upfront allowing them to see the exact amount that will be received by their family members. Additionally, Xoom.com provides lower fees than traditional marketplace competitors.
Xoom.com ranked first in three of the five categories for customer satisfaction: fee transparency, foreign exchange transparency and customer value. In addition, the company tied for first in the category of least expensive and was a close first in ease of use.
“We are happy that consumers recognize and appreciate the transparency and overall value of our service,” said Eugenio Nigro, Vice-President of Business Development, Latin America. “Because we are an online company, our customers have the power to control their money transfer from start to finish and track it every step of the way,” said Nigro.
Xoom.com offers money transfer service to 17 countries in Latin America, including Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil and many more. The cost of sending money to Mexico is $4.99 for any amount up to $2,999, when funded by a checking account.

En envíos de dinero, Xoom.com fue nombrada la mejor compañía y además recibió el primer lugar en satisfacción del cliente.
El informe también revela que existe un aumento de la competencia en la industria de envíos a Latinoamérica.
SAN FRANCISCO – 24 de junio de 2010 – Mientras las condiciones del mercado hacen que sea más fácil y menos costoso para los inmigrantes en los EE.UU. enviar dinero a su país de origen, el Diálogo Interamericano (IAD, por sus siglas en inglés) publicó un informe que muestra que los proveedores de servicios de remesas actualmente ofrecen una mayor variedad de servicios y se expanden a más países. El estudio, A Scorecard in the Market for Money Transfers (Una evaluación del mercado de transferencias de dinero), realizado por el IAD, el principal centro de los EE.UU. para el análisis de las tendencias y los servicios de remesas, también encontró un aumento en los servicios de productos tales como efectivo-a-efectivo y efectivo-a-cuenta bancaria, reflejo del objetivo de las compañías de ser más competitivas.
En el estudio publicado el 18 de junio de 2010, en el que se midieron 16 indicadores, Xoom.com ocupó el lugar de la mejor compañía para enviar dinero a Latinoamérica y el Caribe, superando a otras 38 empresas líderes de transferencia de dinero con sede en los EE.UU. Xoom.com también recibió la puntuación más alta en satisfacción del cliente.
Algunos de los hallazgos clave del informe incluyen el valor alto que los consumidores dan a la transparencia y el costo bajo al hacer sus envíos. “Los consumidores quieren poder ver con facilidad los cargos que pagan y el tipo de cambio que sus seres queridos van a recibir”, dijo el Dr. Manuel Orozco, director del Programa de remesas y desarrollo del IAD. “Además, por supuesto, quieren pagar los cargos más bajos. Sorprendentemente, parece que algunos consumidores ya usan algunas empresas emergentes que hacen un buen trabajo en estas categorías. En muchas categorías, estas empresas obtienen mejores calificaciones que algunas empresas tradicionales de la industria”, dijo Orozco.
Xoom.com recibió las puntuaciones más altas tanto en la transparencia como en el costo bajo. Entre las 39 empresas en el estudio, Xoom.com es la única compañía de envíos de dinero que no requiere el uso de un agente o sucursal para enviar dinero. Los clientes usan el Internet para ingresar el monto de dinero y los datos de su beneficiario, seleccionar el país y el socio de pago, pagar la transacción con una cuenta de cheques o con una tarjeta de crédito e inclusive hacer el seguimiento de la transacción. Los consumidores también pueden ver por anticipado el cargo y el tipo de cambio, lo que les permite ver la cantidad exacta que sus familiares recibirán. Además, Xoom.com ofrece cargos más bajos que los competidores del mercado tradicional.
Xoom.com ocupó el primer lugar en tres de las cinco categorías de satisfacción del cliente: transparencia en los cargos, transparencia en el tipo de cambio y valor del cliente. Además, la compañía empató en primer lugar en la categoría de más económica y estuvo cerca de ser primera en facilidad de uso.
“Estamos contentos de que los consumidores reconozcan y aprecien la transparencia y el valor general de nuestro servicio”, dijo Eugenio Nigro, vicepresidente de desarrollo de negocios para Latinoamérica. “Porque somos una empresa en Internet, nuestros clientes tienen el poder de controlar sus transferencias de dinero de principio a fin y hacer un seguimiento paso a paso”, dijo Nigro.
Xoom.com ofrece el servicio de transferencia de dinero a 17 países en Latinoamérica, incluidos México, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, República Dominicana, Colombia, Perú, Ecuador, Brasil y muchos más. El costo para enviar dinero a México es de US$4.99 para cualquier monto hasta US$2,999 cuando se utiliza una cuenta de cheques.
