WorldRemit

As the name suggest it means remitting money to anywhere in world. Thus it is a platform where one can remit the money online to his/her family and friends who are staying abroad using their Smartphone, computer or tablets.

The WorldRemit was found by Ismail Ahmed who saw the opportunity of transferring funds and made it more convenient while studying in university. In 2010 Ismail thought that the technology was right way to support fund transfer online and thus he made WorldRemit.

It’s an online site which is very low-cost and convenient way to send the money abroad as compared to the regular companies that exist who charge high fee and there street agents are high too. The money that is sent can be received as mobile money, bank deposit, cash pick up or mobile airtime top up.

The service of WorldRemit is available to senders of 50 countries. They all can transfer to other 120 destinations across America, Australia, Europe, Asia and Africa.

WorldRemit is working on the same grounds, the service is easy, low cost, secured and simple to use.

The present scenario of global communication is instant. But sending money abroad has not seen much of a change. The money that was transferred by other companies was very tedious and involved a lot of paper work and the transferring charges were also very high causing inconvenience to the customer.
