Every year, on June 16th, we celebrate International Day of Family Remittances to honor those who send money transfers to loved ones worldwide.

The United Nations reports that over 200 million individuals are providing life-changing support to their 800 million loved ones by sending over $647 billion in 2022.¹ Remittances increased by an estimated 3.8% in 2023 compared to the previous year, according to the World Bank,² with India, Mexico, and China as top recipients.
