Which countries is it available for? Are you compliant with all the complex and sometimes tiresome regulations on cross border transfers?
Worldwide, all 200 countries wherever there is internet.

Regarding regulations we are studying two possible scenarios, comply with all or simply Uberize the model and let people sell money for a fee. For the former we need tons of money, attorneys and on/off ramps with the banking world. For the latter we only would be the messaging transport and people would buy and sell money informally, that's the long tail of the unbanked and informal merchants.
