DALLAS, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MoneyGram International, Inc., a leading global financial technology company that connects the world’s communities, is excited to announce a new partnership with TikTok sensation and long-time MoneyGram customer, Khaby Lame. Together, they will highlight how Khaby—and millions of people globally—use MoneyGram to seamlessly support family and friends back home. This long-term, multi-faceted partnership will feature Khaby in upcoming campaigns, promotions and special content.

Khaby relies on MoneyGram Online (“MGO”), the Company’s leading website and mobile app, to send essential funds to his family in Italy and Senegal, whether for daily needs or special celebrations like birthdays, anniversaries and holidays such as Eid. Beyond family support, Khaby also utilizes MGO to contribute to his community in Senegal, helping fund schools and provide books for children.

“Family and community have always been everything to me. Growing up, my family had limited resources and worked hard to support me,” said Khaby. “Now, I feel a deep responsibility to support them, ensuring they can rely on me to send money quickly when it matters most. Even small gestures—like helping my brother get a special birthday present—make a big difference. For this, I’m thankful for MGO, which provides an easy, fast and reliable way to send funds globally.”

The collaboration kicks off with the MoneyGram Vegas Dream Weekend promotion, featuring Khaby, who will help promote an exclusive VIP experience at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
