One of our top missions is to find the right partners to give travelers the most out of their leftover currency. Viber, which allows people to call any phone number at low rates, is a natural partner for us,” Zussman said.

Meanwhile, Viber’s FinTech Lead Robi Kopel said that the company is very happy to be working with TravelersBox.
