“We are the only digital wallet people can use to pay for goods and services and transfer funds to other Aircash users from all over the world. Giving people more choice and the ability to deposit, store and use cash in a digital form, is key to the country’s economy and Aircash’s main proposition,” said Aircash CEO, Hrvoje Cosic.

Due to significant growth within the Croatian market, Aircash is looking to expand their merchant partnerships in other European countries, to give users the ability to transfer funds cross border and pay for goods and services in the whole European Union as well.
