Company Description

iKobo is an online platform that allows VISA merchants, ATMs, and consumers to send and receive money.

Atlanta, GA based iKobo was founded in 2001 to offer the market a better, faster, safer and more economical solution to international person-to-person money transfers. Leveraging modern technologies and an on-line customer interface, iKobo offered a secure solution that is vastly superior to traditional agent-dependent companies. iKobo used an open network of VISA merchants and ATMs numbering more than 25 million which is more convenient and safe to send and receive money than a closed network of independent agents. iKobo allows consumers to use credit cards, debit cards, or bank accounts on-line to send a re-loadable Visa Prepaid Card to recipients. The card is the key to giving consumers the convenience, safety and security of receiving money in an environment managed by VISA - the global leader in payments. The assurance of privacy and security for customers is why we trust VISA and our other processing partners. As of November 7 2008 they are discontinuing their services.
