App-based remittances win on convenience, security and speed in Asia Pacific: Visa

New Visa research reveals remittance users in the Philippines and Singapore have overwhelmingly adopted app-based digital payments, with more than half of surveyed users citing ease of use and security as key reasons for going digital

SINGAPORE, March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Asia Pacific is one of the largest remittance-receiving regions in the world[1] and making up one of the top five recipient countries for remittance inflows is the Philippines[2], with remittances contributing an estimated 9.3% of the market’s GDP in 2021[3]. This signals the importance of remittances as not just a lifeline for everyday needs but also a key economic driver in many markets.

As the amount of global remittance inflows continues to reach new records[4], a new Visa research “Money Travels: 2023 Digital Remittances Adoption” found that 53% of global surveyed remittance users are turning to digital apps to send and receive funds, with users in Singapore (73%) and the Philippines (71%) also overwhelmingly choosing to adopt app-based solutions to do so.

“Fast, easy and secure payments can make a profound difference to families, communities and economies around the world,” said T.R. Ramachandran, Head of New Payment Flows, Asia Pacific, Visa. “This new research shows incredible acceleration of digital payments and how consumer expectations of speed and ease of use is underpinned by the demand for better security.”

Digital remittances win on convenience, security and speed

The Money Travels: 2023 Digital Remittances Adoption study examines consumers’ habits and preferences when sending and receiving money. Highlights of the study include:

  • Digital remittances are the preferred method amongst consumers across all surveyed markets. Between 60-70% of surveyed remittance users across North America have used an app-based digital payment method to send/receive money internationally and this similar trend is observed with Saudi Arabia (69%) and the United Arab Emirates (65%) users. In Asia Pacific, digital solutions also continue to be the preferred choice, with Filipino remittance receivers intending to use digital transfers (57%) and to receive money digitally (36%).
  • App-based digital payments are considered the most secure method by a strong proportion of remittance users across countries. In Singapore, three out of five (61%) surveyed consumers reported using digital-only means for sending money internationally because of ease of use and security (53%).
  • Sending more money, more often, is easier than ever. Over half of those who have sent money internationally do so about once per month or more often in the United Arab Emirates (71%), Saudi Arabia (64%) and the Philippines (48%). Among those who have received money, 80% do so at least a few times per year in Saudi Arabia, followed by the Philippines (77%), and Mexico (72%).

Ramachandran continues, “Remittance habits are also changing with ease of use and better technology – we are seeing remittances being sent and received in less than a day in Asia Pacific, spurring increased frequencies. Beyond livelihoods, we are also seeing more remittances made in support of key life milestones, such as funding college education, making investments for the long term or saving for an overseas property purchase.”

Enabling smarter and faster remittances

Visa works in collaboration with global remitters such as Maya Philippines, Brightwell, Paysend, Western Union and Xoom to help enable efficient money movement through digitised remittances.

“At Maya, we understand the critical role that remittances play in the daily lives of countless Filipinos and their families. That’s why we’re working with companies like Visa to help promote innovative cross-border money transfer services. By leveraging the Maya app, including Maya Bank, to facilitate fast, secure, and low-cost remittance, we’re meeting a vital need in making transactions safer and more convenient,” said Shailesh Baidwan, Maya Group President. 

In conjunction with the study, Visa also launched “Money Travels,” a new podcast series unearthing how payment-related topics unfold differently in various places around the world and highlighting the stories of real people, payment experts and partners. For more information about Visa Direct, please visit: https://usa.visa.com/run-your-business/visa-direct/payment-guides/remittances.html

This survey was conducted by Morning Consult during 14-28 December 2022 among a sample of more than 14,000 remittance senders and receivers across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, France, Poland, Philippines, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

Nagad turns a billion-dollar company only in three years: Palak


DHAKA, Bangladesh, March 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Nagad, a leading mobile money service operator based in Bangladesh, has become a billion-dollar company only in three years of its inception, says Zunaid Ahmed Palak, state minister for ICT Division.

“Nagad has become a billion-dollar company based on its partnership with the Postal Department and its integration with ICT Division’s ‘Parichay’, while it took 10 years for bKash to achieve that feat,” commented the state minister while comparing the country’s two leading MFS carriers at the inauguration ceremony of “Meghna Pay“, an MFS of Meghna Bank, in a five-star hotel in Dhaka recently.

Tanvir A Mishuk, founder and managing director of Nagad Limited, Ashequr Rahman, chairman of Meghna Bank Limited, Sohail RK Hussain, managing director and CEO of Meghna Bank Limited, were also present at the function.

Terming Nagad as the fastest-growing start-up fintech in the world, Zunaid Ahmed Palak said Bangladesh has now gained the status of becoming a champion in the global MFS industry.

Tanvir A Mishuk said, “Nagad as a mobile financial service will stay beside Meghna Pay with all kinds of technological assistance.”

Explaining it, he said, “We believe if we work together with Meghna Pay to break the monopoly in the [MFS] market, this will benefit both the market as well as people.”

“We want to build a smart Bangladesh by working shoulder to shoulder,” he added.

Nagad, as an MFS of Bangladesh Postal Department, embarked on its journey on 26 March in 2019. At the outset, it shook the entire financial industry by innovating electronic know-your-customer (e-KYC). In the e-KYC system, customers can open an MFS account using their smartphone in less than a minute just by taking a photo of their national identity card and a selfie.

Later, the state-owned MFS operator came up with an even easier way to open an MFS account just by dialing *167# on a feature phone. The ground-breaking innovations have brought an end to cumbersome paperwork, thus creating a buzz across the world.

Nagad’s success reflects its use of state-of-the-art technologies that allow the delivery of various services at minimal charges. In some cases, Nagad provides its customers with free of cost services.

Operating with a government partnership, Nagad’s registered customers now stand at 7.25 crore, with its daily transactions hitting around BDT 1,000 crore on average.

Nagad has also shown the way how government allowances, education stipends and other financial aids can be disbursed among real beneficiaries through a digital platform instantly and conveniently.

About Nagad Ltd (https://www.nagad.com.bd/)

Nagad Limited, a leading mobile financial service in the payment industry of Bangladesh, has more than 72 million registered customers with an average daily transaction of about USD 80 million. Inaugurated in 2019 by Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the digital payment platform is known as a successful public-private partnership between the Bangladesh Postal Department and the private sector.

WordUp, an AI-based English learning App, Introduces Fantasy Chat

LONDON, March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Over 1.5 billion people speak English as a second language. They are naturally at a disadvantage compared to native speakers in a globalised world where English is what connects people to opportunities.

WordUp Chat - AI Celebrities
WordUp Chat – AI Celebrities

WordUp‘s vision is to level the playing field. It’s an AI-based English learning App, used by millions, with a simple but novel core idea:

English has 200,000 words. You’ll never hear 95% of them. 5% is enough for a perfect vocabulary. But which 5%, depends on your unique life, profession, hobbies,… WordUp helps you discover exactly the words that matter to you, sorted by their importance (usage frequency), giving you the most possible value per learning minute.

Fantasy Chat

Their latest release as of 17 March 2023 allows users to talk about any topic with an AI version of their idols, celebrities, politicians,… with over 10,000 famous people are available on the platform! It’s an incredibly entertaining way to practice English and widen their vocabulary.

This innovative AI use case is example of how Generative AI is redefining education.

The challenge of ‘Active Vocabulary’

WordUp was already well-known for its ‘Knowledge Map’ concept, allowing users to uncover their existing vocabulary knowledge into a ‘digital twin’ enabling hyper-personalised learning. This approach, blended with a wealth visual learning content and, had already made WordUp the leading vocabulary expansion app, used by millions around the world.

But there was a challenge. As in any other app, words were learnt into the user’s passive, rather than active vocabulary, meaning they could understand the words when facing them, but couldn’t necessarily recall and use them naturally in real-time conversations. Moving from passive to active vocabulary is only possible through practice and active usage. The new Fantasy Chat feature, solves that problem.

About the founders

WordUp was created by serial entrepreneurs Paymon Khamooshi and Somayeh Aghnia. Having immigrated to the UK from Iran as students in 2004, they experienced first-hand the challenges of learning English vocabulary.

In 2007, they founded Geeks Ltd (software business, London) and have since created jobs for over 500 people and won several industry awards, including the Queen’s Award for Innovation.

Initially an experimental project at Geeks, WordUp grew to become an independent company with philanthropic and impact-driven ambitions.
