MoneyGram overhauls retail solutions globally for unified, omnichannel experience push with Stripe

MoneyGram has announced the global launch of modernised retail solutions, built on Stripe.

"We're modernising one of the world's largest payments networks to make the movement of money across borders seamless, affordable and secure for everyone," says Anthony Soohoo, MoneyGram Chairman and CEO.  "That means connecting our entire global network across retail and digital channels into a single, unified experience for our customers."

The project involves: payment terminals supporting multiple payment types including debit and signature capture; Tap-to-pay for fast, contactless transactions, including digital wallets, such as Apple Pay and Google Pay; Pay-by-link enabling customers to complete transactions remotely and securely from their personal device; Bluetooth enabled devices and QR-based payments to support more flexible, mobile agent workflows.

"This is about bringing the full power of our platform into every interaction," says Luke Tuttle, MoneyGram Chief Product and Technology Officer. "We're evolving our retail network into a digitally connected ecosystem, enabling consumers to use their preferred way to pay, while empowering our agents to deliver a faster, more seamless experience."

The roll-out is underway across the United States, European Union and United Kingdom, with continued global expansion planned.

2026 RTIH Innovation Awards

Omnichannel retail will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.

Check out our 2025 winners here.

Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”

“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”

He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
