TravelersBox And Viber Sign Partnership

May 5, 2016 | Israeli startup TravelersBox announced a new partnership with Viber allowing travelers to deposit leftover currency to Viber accounts. With TravelersBox, an ATM-like machine at airports, travelers can now credit their Viber Out accounts directly via TravelersBox kiosks by depositing their leftover foreign coins and bills into various eWallets and online accounts, now including Viber, before departing for their home country. Founded in 2013 by Tomer Zussman and Idan Deshe, TravelersBox already operates more than 75 kiosks in eight countries and plans to expand even further throughout Asia, expecting to add more than 150 more kiosks this year. Currently, TravelersBox kiosks operate in Manila (Philippines), Tokyo (Japan), Milan (Italy), Toronto (Canada), Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara (Turkey), Tel Aviv (Israel) and Tbilisi (Georgia), and very soon will be launching in India and other airports throughout Asia. Viber is an instant messaging and Voice over IP (VoIP) app for smartphones developed by Viber Media which was founded in 2010 by four Israeli and Belarussian partners: Talmon Marco, Igor Magazinnik, Sani Maroli and Ofer Smocha, with Marco as its CEO.
