September 22, 2021

Oky, a cross-border e-commerce fintech company, has partnered with Suzuki Guatemala, a motorcycle provider, to sell its products on the Oky platform. With this platform, immigrant customers from the U.S. can use cash, credit card or direct transfer to purchase motorcycles in Guatemala for family and friends in the country, according to a press release.

Users can utilize the service by downloading the app and creating an account, then make a purchase either on the application or at one 1,380 points-of-sale in more than 250 cities in the U.S., or add funds with cash. Once the recipient in Guatemala receives the digital voucher, they can present it to a salesperson at a Suzuki branch and choose from more than 30 models, according to the release.

"As immigrants, we understand what the needs of the region are, the challenges they face, and the type of support that is required from family or friends who are currently in the United States," Víctor Unda CEO of OKY, said in the release. "Through this alliance, Guatemalans abroad will be able to offer their loved ones access to one of the most popular and important motorcycle brands in Guatemala. This collaboration between OKY and Suzuki is unique. We will be able to observe the positive impact of the application of technology as a tool to promote inclusion and provide a better quality of life for all."
