The free app provides a fast and simple method for on-the-go Xoom customers to send money to loved ones. The Xoom App is unique in its simplicity, allowing Xoom customers to complete a quick send to their recipient in a novel "one tap and one swipe" technique. This slide-to-send technique allows existing Xoom customers to submit a money transfer in just seconds.
"The market has traditionally been served by offline, inconvenient cash-to-cash operators, where consumers often waste precious time waiting in line to send money," said Joe Raymond, Xoom's Vice President of Product. "Now, with its new App, Xoom is providing consumers with yet another option that is quick, convenient, easy-to-use and cost-effective."
In addition to fast and simple money transfers on the go, customers can use the Xoom App to gather real-time transfer status updates as their money moves to their loved ones. Other key features of the Xoom App include the ability to review Xoom's low fees, check exchange rates, contact customer service and access links to other Xoom services.
The Xoom App can be downloaded from the AppStore at http://xoom.io/iOs-aPP and Google Play at http://xoom.io/Android-aPP.
