4 steps for sending money to Mexico from the US

In 2021, there were about 10.7 million Mexican immigrants living in the US. And in looking for opportunities to improve their lives, some of these immigrants had to make the difficult choice to move from their home country, parting with their friends and family for long stretches of time.
Thankfully, with innovative technology, you are able to remain connected with loved ones, despite physical distance, whether that’s emotionally, mentally or financially.
