Smile Hero: Betty

Betty’s story is an inspiring testament to perseverance and determination. Originally from Ghana, Betty made the bold decision to migrate to Spain with her husband and 2 daughters in search of a better future. This journey was marked by challenges and adversities, from adapting to a new culture to overcoming language barriers.

However, Betty’s courage soon paid off. Upon her arrival in Spain, she found a job opportunity as an English teacher, which allowed her to provide a quality education for her daughters and contribute to her family’s livelihood. It was during this time that Betty discovered the Smile Account, a current account designed specifically for migrants, which gave her the financial tools she needed to manage her resources effectively and plan for a more secure future for her family.

Betty’s story is a testament to overcoming and adapting to a new environment, demonstrating how access to adequate resources can open doors to a brighter future, not only for her, but also for her family.

"I can make purchases anywhere in the world, pay my bills by direct debit, deposit or withdraw money..."

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

My friend Alex is a Moneytrans agent and he was the one who told me: “Betty, the Smile Account is perfect for you”. And he was right: now I can make purchases anywhere in the world, pay my bills by direct debit, deposit or withdraw money… and the best thing is that I get discounts on my money transfers at home, all from a single app!

Why Moneytrans?

It’s not easy to choose who to trust with your money. I’m a person of habit and I need to be able to trust. In my case, I’ve been relying on Moneytrans for my money transfers home for 10 years. That’s why when I heard they were launching a current account, I knew I had to open an account with them.

"To foreign mothers like me, I would say that the Smile Account is the financial freedom we deserve."

What about the future?

I am happy here, I have a job and a wonderful family that I want to continue to take care of for as long as I can.

What would you say to someone in your situation?

To foreign mothers like me, I would say that the Smile Account is the financial freedom we deserve.
