N.C. banking commissioner orders money transmitter to halt

The N.C. Commissioner of Banks has ordered a money transmitter that primarily catered to Brazilian immigrants to stop doing business in the state, the office said Monday. The company had two locations in Matthews.

Global Money Remittance, Inc., had allegedly not been making transmittals as advertised for several months, and closed suddenly in April. The company was based in Florida and did business in several states and online. Its two partners in Matthews were Brascharlotte and Supermercado Brasileiro.

Brascharlotte was found to be still in possession of about $19,000 that was to be sent up to Global Money Remittance. The company cooperated with the banking commissioner's office in getting the money sent to the N.C. Department of Justice. That department is now seeking the original money-senders.

People who think they fall in that category can file a complaint here.

Massachusetts, Florida and Connecticut have taken similar actions against the company.
