BigPay has added two new corridors to its international remittance service: Vietnam and Australia – with China coming soon.
Offering a low-cost, transparent, and accessible way of transferring money abroad is a cornerstone of BigPay’s financial inclusion strategy. Opening up these new corridors plays a key role in further democratizing the movement of money across the region. Now more than ever, frictionless and affordable money transfer is critical with families separated and people unable to travel.
These three countries have some of the highest numbers of outbound remittances from Malaysia and are likely to drive further growth. There are 26,000 Malaysian students in Australia, and 174,000 Malaysian-born expatriates living in the country. Transfers from Malaysia to both Vietnam and China are in the billions per year, according to World Bank Data.
BigPay’s remittance service has grown at an average of 35% month-on-month since its launch in September 2019 with Indonesia, India, Thailand, Singapore, Bangladesh, Nepal & the Philippines leading the charge.
Moving forward BigPay’s remittance product will play a key role in its offering as it grows across Southeast Asia – with the plan to keep adding more corridors and reducing the cost to remit.
In less than 8 months, the Malaysian company has added 5 more countries to that list and has already processed significant volumes in international transfers. With its fixed fee per corridor and competitive exchange rates, BigPay leverages technology to dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of sending money abroad for its users.
BigPay is pioneering digital remittance through its mobile application, offering a seamless experience with instant money transfers. Users can deposit funds into BigPay through their bank cards or via bank transfer.
