The global expanse of the Tunisian diaspora is remarkable. With nearly 2 million Tunisians residing abroad, their influence on the Tunisian economy is palpable. By the close of 2023, remittances from this group are projected to skyrocket to an impressive 10 billion dinars.
Amidst this backdrop, 216 Capital, in its ongoing endeavor to bolster value-creation entities in Tunisia, has proudly announced an investment of 400,000 euros in the Franco-Tunisian fintech startup, My Easy Transfer. This startup is at the forefront of providing safe and efficient money transfer avenues for the Tunisian diaspora.
The inception of My Easy Transfer is an interesting narrative of two brothers – Ismaïl and Jabrane Khenissi. Both are seasoned professionals, having honed their expertise in IT and finance with tenures in premier international banks across the UK, France, and Africa. Their fintech venture, launched in March 2022, was fueled by a desire to streamline money transfer processes for their community. Drawing from their rich professional backgrounds, the Khenissi brothers embarked on a mission to serve their homeland and fellow Tunisians. Their endeavor has not gone unnoticed, as within a short span of a year, My Easy Transfer has garnered a robust customer base of 10,000.
