The remittance industry enables individuals and businesses to send and receive money across borders. This industry plays a key role in connecting the world financially by helping families, supporting businesses, and driving economic growth.

Key aspects of remittance services include:

1. Transfer money globally in different currencies.
2. Offer multiple payment options, like mobile wallets, bank accounts, mobile wallets, and cash pickups.
3. Clear about exchange rates and fees, so users know exactly what to expect.

The Problem

Remittance businesses often grapple with the following challenges:

• Unpredictable Exchange Rates: Fluctuations in exchange rates can reduce the amount recipients receive, leading to unhappy customers.
• Lack of Transparency: Hidden fees and unclear exchange rates can cause trust issues with customers.
• Complex Currency Conversion: Managing multiple currencies and ensuring accurate conversions adds to the operational costs.
• Slow Processing Times: Delays in completing cross-border payments can frustrate customers.
