Bilateral Agreements Between Countries To Ease Remittance Flows
Bilateral agreements between countries to ease remittance flows fueled the growth of the digital remittance market during the historic period. Bilateral agreements between countries streamline cross-border money transfers, by cutting transaction barriers, reducing costs and speeding up processing times for remittances. This enhanced accessibility and trust in digital platforms is driving the increased adoption of digital remittance services for international money transfers. For instance, in May 2022, the government of India signed the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to boost the remittance corridor between the two countries, as well as create a supportive environment to build interoperable digital solutions. Highlighting an ongoing endeavor to streamline the multi-billion-dollar trade corridor between the UAE and India, the agreement is poised to enhance the UAE-India remittance corridor, which accounts for 33% of the total inward remittances to India, from the perspective of the payments industry. Therefore, bilateral agreements between countries to ease remittance flows drove the growth of the digital remittance market.
Launch Of Embedded Remittances Services To Provide A Seamless And Convenient Experience
Companies in the digital remittance market are focusing on launching embedded remittance services to provide a seamless and convenient experience for users. Embedded remittance services refer to the integration of remittance functionalities directly into existing platforms or services, such as banking apps, e-commerce platforms or social media platforms. This integration allows users to initiate and complete remittance transactions without having to use separate remittance platforms or visit physical remittance outlets. For example, in May 2024, Leap Financial, a Canadian-based financial services company offering business loans, capital financing, funding activities and others, partnered with Mastercard Inc., a US-based multinational payment card services corporation, to launch an embedded remittance service. This all-encompassing white-label solution enables both financial and non-financial organizations to integrate a "request remittance" feature into their platforms, thereby accessing remittance streams from the US to Latin American and Caribbean nations. This partnership aims to revolutionize the remittance sector, by utilizing digital innovations to enhance the accessibility and affordability of remittance services, ultimately making a substantial impact on promoting financial inclusion.
The global digital remittance market is fairly fragmented, with a large number of players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up 21.4% of the total market in 2023.
