Smile hero: Alslen

Meet the inspiring story of Alslen, a 35-year-old who found his happiness in Madrid. Originally from Brazil, Alslen made the brave decision to move to Spain in search of a peaceful future for himself and his wife. Thanks to his fluency in Portuguese, English and Spanish, he quickly found employment and now enjoys a full life in the city he loves.

But the story does not end there. Alslen is an exemplary brother who supports his younger brother in Rio while he studies law – his heart is filled with joy as he watches his brother advance in his career! Just 3 months ago, Alslen discovered a source of endless possibilities by opening a Smile Account. With it, she has unlocked a world of convenience, such as unbeatably priced international transfers to support her brother with monthly remittances and a free Mastercard debit card to operate worldwide. Smile with Alslen and join the financial revolution with Smile Account.

"I know there are other current accounts, but the fact that it is designed for foreigners who live here caught my attention"

How did you find out about the account and what do you think of it?

I heard about the Smile Account at work and I went to the website and saw that it had an app, that they were giving me a free Mastercard debit card… in the end, what I needed was a card with which to make my day-to-day purchases, and an account with which to send money and pay bills by direct debit… I didn’t want to complicate things. And with this account I can do everything from my mobile…easy.

Why Moneytrans?

I know there are other current accounts, but the fact that it is designed for foreigners who live here caught my attention, I like it. I feel identified in a way. The Smile Community is a nice and necessary initiative.

"To a parent like me, I would say that with a current account like this, I sleep better at night. "

What about the future?

A few years ago I came from Brazil with my wife and we live very happily in our new home. Our wish is to stay here as long as we can continue to give our daughter a good life and take care of our family from a distance.

What would you say to someone in your situation?

To a parent like me, I would say that with a current account like this, I sleep better at night.

And at this stage of life, that’s a blessing (laughs)!
