In January, we opened a new international remittance corridor: India. đźđł
BigPay users can now send money directly from their app to Indian bank accounts. We believe you deserve more: banks charge up to 11% and other remittance players up to 20% â depending on amounts and where you transfer to. đ±
Nobody should have to pay high fees for something so important, especially at a time when many are forced to cancel travel plans and stay away from their families. We want to make sure that you save as much money as possible where you should, and give your family all the support they deserve.
This is why we keep our fees low, our exchange rates great, and our standards high.
