I am impressed with the instant account verification and the hourly transfer service with a good limit that works for me. The customer support is also very helpful. I do not have to think twice when it comes to money transfer. I will recommend Remit Money to everyone.
Spoke with the customer support team and they were very helpful in getting my issue resolved quickly. I was having issue with the promo code application and the team made sure that they apply the same from the back end and inform me immediately.
It is hard to estimate the exact size of remittance flows because many transfers take place through unofficial channels. Worldwide, officially recorded international migrant remittances were projected to exceed $483 billion in 2011, with $351 billion flowing to developing countries. These flows are recorded in the balance of payments; exactly how to record them is being reviewed by an international technical group. Unrecorded flows through informal channels are believed to be at least 50 percent larger than recorded flows. Not only are remittances large but they are also more evenly distributed among developing countries than capital flows, including foreign direct investment, most of which goes to a few big emerging markets. In fact, remittances are especially important for low-income countries. Remittance flows to low-income countries are nearly 6 percent of their gross domestic product (GDP), compared with about 2 percent of GDP for middle-income countries.
For settlement between agents, in most cases, there is no real-time fund transfer; instead, the balance owed by the sending agent to the paying agent is settled periodically according to an agreed schedule, through a commercial bank. Informal remittances are sometimes settled through goods trade.
Remittances are typically transfers from a well-meaning individual or family member to another individual or household. They are targeted to meet specific needs of the recipients and thus tend to reduce poverty. Cross-country analyses generally find that remittances have reduced the share of poor people in the population (Adams and Page 2003, 2005; Gupta, Pattillo, and Wagh 2009). In fact, World Bank studies, based on recent household surveys, suggest that international remittance receipts helped lower poverty (measured by the proportion of the population below the poverty line) by nearly 11 percentage points in Uganda, 6 percentage points in Bangladesh, and 5 percentage points in Ghana. Between a fifth and half of the 11 percent reduction in poverty in Nepal between 1995 and 2004, a time of political conflict, has been attributed to remittances.
In poorer households, remittances may finance the purchase of basic consumption goods, housing, and children's education and health care. In richer households, they may provide capital for small businesses and entrepreneurial activities. They also help pay for imports and external debt service, and in some countries, banks have been able to raise overseas financing using future remittances as collateral.
Third, establishing nonexclusive partnerships between remittance-service providers and existing postal and other retail networks would help expand remittance services without requiring large fixed investments to develop payment networks.
Fouth, poor migrants could be given greater access to banking. Banks tend to provide cheaper remittance services than money transfer operators. Both sending and receiving countries can increase banking access for migrants by allowing origin-country banks to operate overseas; by providing identification cards (such as the Mexican matricula consular) that are accepted by banks to open accounts; and by facilitating participation of microfinance institutions and credit unions in the remittance market.
Governments have often offered incentives to increase remittance flows and to channel them to productive uses. But such policies are more problematic than efforts to expand access to financial services or reduce transaction costs. Tax incentives may attract remittances, but they may also encourage tax evasion. Matching-fund programs to attract remittances from migrant associations may divert funds from other local funding priorities, while efforts to channel remittances to investment have met with little success. Fundamentally, remittances are private funds that should be treated like other sources of household income. Efforts to increase savings and improve the allocation of expenditures should be accomplished through improvements in the overall investment climate, rather than by targeting remittances.

Each year, consumers in the United States send tens of billions of dollars to family members, friends, businesses, and others abroad. Much of this money is sent through remittance transfers, which are certain electronic transfers from U.S. senders to recipients in foreign countries. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) requires the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to issue a report on two topics related to remittance transfers: (1) the transparency and disclosure to consumers of exchange rates used in remittance transfers; and (2) the potential for using remittance histories to enhance the credit scores of consumers.
The first topic relates to the cost to consumers of remittance transfers. Exchange rates are a key factor in determining the amount a remittance recipient receives and the price a remittance sender pays for a transfer. Exchange rates can also be a key factor in how consumers choose among remittance transfer providers. Thus, exchange rate information has the potential to educate consumers, empower them to compare remittance products, and facilitate competition among providers.
