How Remitly Marries Remittances With Financial Inclusion
Globally, many families depend on the remittances sent by some 300 million migrant workers—corporate citizens of a globalised economy. Despite this demand, traditional systems often operate with low transparency, high fees, and limited access. In response, Seattle-based Remitly is placing remittances at the center of a much broader conception of financial needs for migrants and economic diasporas.
On 9 September 2025, the fintech launched Remitly One, a new membership-based financial product designed for customers in the US, with expansion plans venturing beyond borders and customer segments. Fintechs like Remitly are not only transforming the remittance payment landscape, but are redefining access to financial services for globally connected communities.
