cellfunds wants global communities to economically and financially thrive.

finding purpose in your voice.
The new tagline, “Money that moves you,” captures the two core value propositions in a nutshell—faster money transfers across borders and giving money back to impact communities in need.

"It’s truly been our pleasure to have an ongoing partnership with the hiro team. Instead of trying to give us a one-size-fits-all solution, they invested in understanding our product and creatively communicating it."
