How it started

Sokin was born from humble roots with a need to build better financial services for economic migrants with families to support across the world.  Sokin CEO, Vroon Modgill, is a first-generation immigrant and watched first-hand his father struggle sending money back home. The process was stressful, expensive, and time-consuming. It was clear this old-fashioned system needed a reboot and so, Sokin was born! In fact, they are the only payments provider in the world to adopt the subscription model.

Is your money safe with Sokin?

Absolutely, safety is of the utmost importance to Sokin. They only work with established and regulated banking entities globally to ensure all money transfers are safe, secure, and speedy.

How much will it cost me?

The Sokin app is free to download and is available on iOS and Android and also online. They offer two different types of accounts: Premium and Basic. 

The Premium account offers members a subscription-based package for a fixed month fee of €9.99 / £9.99 per month, which gives you unlimited global money transfers and currency exchange. The Basic account allows members to transfer money for a small fee per transaction.

Sokin wants you to enjoy your travels and has removed the ‘after holiday bank statement fear’ caused by unplanned hidden fees. Top up your debit card via the Sokin app, and you can convert your money to the local currency Sokin Wallet every time you use your card abroad. This means you’re ready to spend worldwide, with no additional fees on foreign spending and no added foreign transaction charges, unlike your generic high-street bank. This also means you can ditch carrying cash and enjoy commission-free foreign currency via the tap of your card.
