People have sent money to family far away for as long as they have migrated for work. The methods have changed a great deal over time.
Hand-carried money and trusted couriers. Historically, people relied on friends, relatives, or travellers to carry cash home. It was personal, but risky and slow.
Informal networks. Trust-based systems operating outside formal banking have long served communities, and in many places they still exist.
Banks and wire transfers. Formal banking offered security but could be slow and expensive, and not everyone had a bank account.
Money transfer agents. Agent networks made it easier to send and collect cash, especially for people without bank access.
Online and mobile services. Today, many transfers can be started from a smartphone and sent directly to a bank account or mobile wallet.
Each stage tried to solve problems left by the one before: speed, cost, access, and trust. Digital solutions continue that story, although cash-based and agent-based services remain important for many recipients.
Remitted is part of this evolution, offering a modern way to send money while keeping the focus on clarity and care.
