Abra is a Bitcoin-based digital currency mobile wallet where you can store your portfolio of crypto assets and multiple national currencies such as US dollar, Argentine peso, Canadian dollar, Philippine peso, Brazilian real, etc.
The company started as a remittance service with human “Tellers” in their first test market in the US – Philippines remittance corridor. But now it is focusing on a global mobile first strategy that let’s users everywhere deposit, store, send and receive Bitcoin, and, within the app, exchange to Ether and other national currencies.
