Definition:
Digital Remittances refer to the electronic transfer of money from one person or entity to another, typically across international borders. The transfers are made via online platforms, mobile apps, and other digital channels that allow individuals to send and receive money quickly and securely. The target users of these services are usually migrant population. Remittances in general include periodic fund transfers between residents and non-residents and earnings transfer from short-time workers from other countries to their country of origin. Digital remittances are becoming more and more popular due to their convenience, cost-effectiveness, and speed when compared to traditional methods such as wire transfers. Additionally, digital remittances can also provide increased transparency and security, as well as the ability to track transactions in real-time.
