E-wallet launch

MarTrust, a maritime payment solutions company, and a subsidiary of Marcura, has announced the launch of a new “e-wallet” and card, a next-generation payment solution for the maritime industry that optimises the payroll process for shipowners. This enables crew to be paid quicker compared to the traditional banking routes, and provides them with complete control of their funds and online purchases with reduced risks and lower transaction costs. The ability to quickly transfer money to anyone they need to at any time - in particular sending financial support back to their families - will alleviate some of the monetary challenges of being at sea for extended periods.
