Las Vegas Lights FC and Ualett will recognize Hispanic gig workers during Hispanic Heritage Night on September 19, introducing a new international money transfer service and in-game tributes at Cashman Field.
When Las Vegas Lights FC hosts Hispanic Heritage Night on September 19, the focus will be on the city’s gig workers and Hispanic communities who help drive the local economy. Ualett, a bilingual fintech platform for independent workers, is using the event to launch its new Ualett Global Transfer service and to recognize the people who keep Las Vegas running. According to AFP, the initial rollout of Ualett Global Transfer allows users to send money from the app to the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Mexico, with more countries planned.
There’s more than soccer planned for fans at Cashman Field. Ualett’s new international remittance feature, available through its app, lets eligible users send money to the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Mexico. More destinations are expected to be added. At the match, the company will offer a QR-code promotion, giving first-time users a free international transfer. This is aimed at gig workers—rideshare drivers, delivery couriers, hospitality staff, freelancers, and small business owners—who often support families abroad and need flexible, transparent financial tools. As reported by AFP, the service is meant to make cross-border transfers easier for these communities.
Celebrating Hispanic contributions in Las Vegas
Hispanic Heritage Night is more than a themed game for Las Vegas Lights FC. The event is set up to recognize the resilience and economic impact of Hispanic workers and entrepreneurs across the city. Ualett and the club will honor selected gig workers from the Las Vegas community during the match, including an in-game video sharing their stories and highlighting the role of independent workers in the city’s service and hospitality sectors. According to official statements, this partnership is specifically tied to Hispanic Heritage Night and aims to give visibility and recognition to gig workers in Las Vegas.
Ualett’s CEO, Ricky Michel Presbot, says the company’s commitment to the Hispanic community goes beyond a single event or month. Ualett was founded by people familiar with the realities of gig work and aims to offer financial services that reflect the unpredictable nature of independent income. With a bilingual customer base of over 750,000 users, Ualett focuses on practical solutions for those who often go unnoticed in the city’s economic story. The company’s launch materials mention features like clear transfer pricing, competitive exchange rates, secure processing, and in-app tracking, all designed for independent workers.
New remittance service for gig economy needs
The launch of Ualett Global Transfer comes at a time when international remittances remain essential for many Las Vegas residents. The service offers clear transfer pricing, competitive exchange rates, secure processing, and in-app tracking. By adding this feature to its mobile platform, Ualett is positioning itself as a financial partner for gig workers who need to send money quickly and reliably across borders. The game-day promotion, which gives first-time users a free international transfer via QR code at the event, is part of a broader effort to make remittance services more accessible and affordable for the city’s workforce.
Las Vegas has a long tradition of celebrating Hispanic culture, including events like the Mexico Independence Day festivities at Centennial Hills Park reported earlier. Hispanic Heritage Night at Cashman Field adds a new angle by connecting cultural celebration with practical support for the city’s workforce.
What to expect at Cashman Field
Fans at the September 19 match can expect soccer, community recognition, and access to new financial tools. Ualett’s QR-code promotion will be available through event signage and materials, offering a free first international transfer for eligible users. More event details and activities are expected to be announced by Ualett and Las Vegas Lights FC as the date approaches. According to a Business Wire announcement, Ualett’s service is designed to support independent workers who need reliable remittance options.
Las Vegas Lights FC, which plays in the USL Championship and has been owned by Jose Bautista since January 2024, continues to use its platform to highlight local stories and connect with the community. The club’s recent run to the Western Conference Final has kept it in the spotlight, but events like Hispanic Heritage Night show a broader commitment to the city’s diverse population.
By tying the launch of a new remittance service to a major community event, Ualett and Las Vegas Lights FC are offering real support to gig workers. In a city built on the labor of independent workers, efforts that recognize and empower these communities are essential for the local economy.
