Our Journey

How Remit Select Was Born

  1. Working Abroad, Sending Home

    Like millions of expats, our founders sent money home every month — trusting the same provider out of habit, unaware of how much they were losing.

  2. The Discovery

    One day, a side-by-side comparison revealed hundreds of dollars lost annually to poor exchange rates and hidden fees. The system was broken — and no one was talking about it.

  3. Existing Tools Failed

    Comparison tools were either confusing, outdated, or quietly biased toward paid placements. The transparency we needed simply didn't exist.

  4. Remit Select Is Born

    So we built it ourselves — a platform that is transparent by design, built for expats, and committed to ensuring every family receives more of what is earned.

Global Remittance

A Market Worth Fighting For

The numbers behind the problem — and why Remit Select matters.

  • $0T+

    Global remittance market projected by 2030 — a trillion-dollar system that must serve its people better.

  • ~0%

    Average fee taken on every transfer globally. That's real money diverted away from families who need it most.

  • 0+

    Verified providers compared on Remit Select — all regulated, all transparent.

  • 0M+

    Migrants worldwide who send remittances home — each one deserving a fairer deal.

The Challenge

The Cost of Sending Money Home
Is Still Too High

  • High Transfer FeesFixed fees of $5–$25 per transfer, eating into every remittance you send.

  • Poor Exchange RatesBanks and legacy providers apply wide margins — sometimes 3–5% below the mid-market rate.

  • Hidden ChargesFees buried in the fine print. You only discover the true cost after the transfer.

  • No Easy ComparisonSwitching providers felt confusing, risky, or simply not worth the effort.

  • Instant Side-by-Side ComparisonSee every provider's rate, fee, and delivery time — all in one place, in seconds.

  • Best Rate Always VisibleWe surface the highest payout, so you never settle for less than you deserve.

  • Full Fee TransparencyEvery charge is displayed upfront — no surprises, no buried clauses.

  • Verified Providers OnlyOnly regulated, licensed providers make our list — your trust is never compromised.

Real-World Impact: A Monthly Sender

A worker sending $500 home every month through a legacy bank at a 4% margin loses roughly $240 a year in unnecessary fees. With Remit Select, finding a provider at 0.5% takes under two minutes — putting more than $200 back in their family's pocket annually.

The Numbers

Real Fees. Real Families Affected.

  • ~6%

    Global Average Fee

    The global average cost to send $200 internationally is still nearly 6%, according to the World Bank — more than double the UN SDG target of under 3%.

  • $48B

    Lost to Fees Annually

    An estimated $48 billion is lost each year by migrants and their families through excessive transfer fees and unfavourable exchange rates worldwide.

  • 8%+

    Sub-Saharan Africa Corridors

    Corridors like Tanzania face some of the world's highest fees — often exceeding 8% — leaving the most financially vulnerable families paying the most to receive less.

Real Impact: What 8% Means for a Family in Tanzania

A migrant worker sends $300 home to Tanzania every month. At 8%, $24 vanishes before the family sees a cent. Over a year, that's $288 lost — enough for a child's school term, months of groceries, or critical medical care. This isn't just a finance problem. It's a human one.
