# Storyline
- 00:00–00:02 The ad begins with a woman sitting on a couch, who introduces the concept that every money transfer has a story, as she begins to tell hers.
- 00:02–00:06 00:02–00:06 The woman shares a quote from her mom, 'Para qué salir a buscar lo que ya tenés en casa Zipota,' emphasizing that there's no need to go out for things you already have at home, conveying a sense of traditional wisdom.
- 00:06–00:11 The woman shares her approval of that quote, and transitions to explaining how Remitly allows her to send money without leaving home. She says, 'Con Remitly, no tengo que ir a ningún lado. Desde mi cel mando tranqui,' which translates to, 'With Remitly, I don't have to go anywhere. I send from my cell phone peacefully,' highlighting the convenience of the app.
- 00:11–00:13 The story shifts to another woman sitting in a chair outside. She quotes her grandmother, saying, 'A buen entendedor, pocas palabras,' meaning, 'To a good listener, few words are needed.'
- 00:13–00:16 The woman speaker explains the meaning, saying, 'Y yo entendí bien clarito: si puedo mandar desde casa, ¿pa' qué salir?' meaning, 'And I understood very clearly: if I can send from home, why go out?'
