MasterRemit’s platform offers money transfer services that go beyond what traditional institutions such as banks, money transfer agents and other agencies, can provide. Part of our vision is to extend services to areas where banks and other agencies cannot be reached with the tap of a finger - connecting loved ones instantly and providing them the money transfer assistance they need at their convenience, 24/7.

Convenience and availability are the main objectives of MasterRemit. We offer the following products and services:

• Cash Pick-Up: A recipient can pick up the remittance in person from a collection agent/location within minutes of transfer.
• Mobile Money Account: An instant service that enables people to send money directly to the recipient’s mobile wallet, no banking transaction or agent required. This service is for the millions of people around the world who do not have banking access or who are unable to access money transfer agencies right away.
• Bank Account Deposit: Transferred funds will go directly to recipients’ bank accounts.

Our flexible transfer methods have everything covered to ensure recipients get the remittance in whatever way they need.

If you use your credit card, you may be charged an additional cash advance fee by your card issuer for this service. You may be able to avoid these fees if you use a debit or prepaid card. Contact your issuing bank for any questions related to cash advance fees.

Our banking partner will attempt to contact your recipient to complete the KYC process required to pay out the funds. The beneficiary screening happens on the first transaction. We require an email address, or a cell phone number, or both, for the beneficiary:

• Full name. Please enter your recipient’s full legal name. It must match their valid, government-issued photo ID for them to successfully collect their funds.
• Address. We need your recipient’s city.
• Mobile number. We use this to send an SMS notification to your recipient with the transaction reference number which they will need in order to collect the funds. We will also inform them when their funds are ready to be collected.
• Email (optional). We use this to email your recipient with details of the transaction. This is particularly useful in case they have issues receiving the SMS notifications.

The maximum amount of money you can send depends upon which country your are sending. This is because some countries set limits on how much can be received. The maximum amount will be displayed to you before you accept the quote.
