The Leader transfer system is a dynamically developing payment service that has won the recognition of users from 132 countries of the world, and is now expanding in the markets of Asia and Africa. The service actively interacts with participants in the financial system of Russia and the CIS countries.

 

History

This service was created in 2003 under the name VIP Money Transfer. All 100% of the shares of the system belong to the Russian Incredbank. The central office of the company is located in Moscow. A little later, the company name was changed to "Leader International Money Transfer System".

In 2015, the Leader monetary system won the status of a payment service of national importance, and in 2011 it became a laureate of a competition for payment transfer systems in Ukraine. Today it is one of the five largest payment services in Russia.

The Leader system administration aims to make the service a financial assistant for all Internet users in the CIS countries. The chairman of the board of directors of the system O. Vilkul noted “we want our application to be installed on all mobile devices and tablets and actively used by their owners when making financial transactions.”

Initially, in its development, the leadership of the Leaders monetary system was guided by labor migrants who came to Russia to earn money and periodically sent remittances to their relatives. Analysts of the system note that recently the flow of transfers from the countries of the East has significantly increased: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE. The dynamics of transfers through the system has been continuously growing for five years.

Today, the service focuses not only on money transfers, but also accepts payments to various organizations that provide services, including representatives of the public sector.

The emergence of new electronic devices and applications for them stimulates the development of the electronic money market. Therefore, the Leader system intensively develops digital technologies, which allow to expand the scope of the service.
