How to send money to Mexico
The Mexican diaspora is one of the largest in the world. In the United States alone there are nearly 37 million Mexican Americans, and 13.5% of the US population speak Spanish at home!
With $30bn sent from the USA alone to Mexico per year - making this the largest money transfer corridor in the world - Mexicans living abroad need fast, simple and reliable money transfer services so that their recipients can receive the money as conveniently as possible.
What’s the best way to send money to Mexico?
Traditional methods of money transfer included giving money to a cashier at a high-street bank or remittance store. But with these services not always available, alternative solutions are needed that let you send money anytime, from the comfort of your own home.
Online money transfer platforms let users send money internationally from their smartphone or laptop. They’re simple and user-friendly apps that can help customers save time and money with their transfers when they send money to Mexico online.
