Bitspark Zephyr Update #4

![Bitspark Zephyr](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://i.supload.com/1200x0/r1l3o1r0Y-.png)

Hi Steemit,

Welcome to the Zephyr update series. The idea behind this is a concise snapshot of some the current developments to give you an idea on the progress being made at Bitspark towards Project Zephyr. Todays update will mostly be related to our technical development but also can include business related developments too, some developments are private and wont be noted and we may change the formatting of these updates as time goes on. Below we have the new Sendy UI sneak peak due soon in the upcoming Sendy 2.0 with Zephyr integration, easier customer onboarding, reduced KYC and many other changes.

Thank you for the update George. Couple questions though.  I look up the app Sendy In Playstore and the only one I see is a delivery app. Have a link for Sendy? And why use acronyms like MTO? What does it mean?

Hey larryss, Sendy link is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.bitspark.android&hl=en
MTO stands for physical money transfer operators, who are non-bank financial providers who offer over the counter cash payments/remittances to destination countries.
