Fintech Companies Could Help UK Migrant Workers Send an Additional £520M Back Home When Transferring Money
Fintechs could save migrant workers a combined £520m when moving money from the UK to emerging economies, according to new analysis by UK fintech Paysend.
Each year, migrant workers in the UK send £8bn back home. While the average global transaction fee is currently 7% of the money transferred, the fintech average is already well below 2%.
Combined, these savings mean migrant workers in the UK could send up to £520m more back home each year if they move money with lower cost fintech businesses.
