An international remittance app focused on fast, affordable transfers, particularly popular for sending money home from abroad. About Remitly: Remitly specializes in cross-border remittances — sending money from one country to family or others in another — with a mobile-first app experience and a choice between faster and cheaper delivery speeds for each transfer. Key Features: Speed vs. Cost Choice: Pick an "Express" faster option or an "Economy" cheaper option for each transfer. Multiple Payout Methods: Recipients can often receive funds via bank deposit, depending on the country. Rate Transparency: See the exchange rate and fee before confirming the transfer. First-Transfer Promotions: New users are often offered a discounted or fee-free first transfer. How to Get Started: Download the Remitly app and create an account, verifying your identity. Enter the recipient's details and choose a payout method available in China. Select Express or Economy speed and review the total cost. Pay from your card or bank account and track the transfer to delivery. Important Notice: China's currency controls affect international remittances into Chinese bank accounts — check current limits and any required documentation for the receiving bank before sending, especially for larger amounts.
