Smartphones have become part of our daily lives. We don’t just use it to communicate with each other. For some, it is a device also used for business. M Lhuillier, one of the leading pawn and remittance chains in the country, is leaning into the trend. They have chosen the local brand Starmobile to create a custom M Lhuillier smartphone for both their employees and customers.

Also by doing this, they are embracing the growing influence of mobile and digital tech in the remittance industry.
