Euronet Worldwide, Inc.

A global payments company, Euronet runs ATM networks, prepaid phone and digital-media top-ups, and the Ria and Xe money-transfer brands used across dozens of countries. It was founded in Budapest in 1994 by brothers-in-law Mike Brown and Dan Henry as BankNet, building the region's first independent ATM network before renaming to Euronet. Fun fact: the Xe currency brand began in 1993 as Xenon Laboratories, a computer-consulting firm that later pivoted to foreign exchange.
