Remit2india :Online Remittances

Wherever the NRI is in the world, one of his inherent needs is that of sending money back home to India. Indians across the globe send over $40 billion into the country. The money is sent for family maintenance, depositing in NRE accounts, investing in property etc, donations & other purposes. Remit2India Traditional Channels:

The traditional modes of sending money to India have been mainly through foreign currency cheques & wire-transfers through the SWIFT network. The foreign currency option though cheap, takes a long time to clear (over 21 days) & also there is no tracking of the money once sent. The Wire Transfer option is quicker but is very expensive & the NRI needs to visit a bank branch to initiate the transfer. Other options included using agents to send money. This has a very high cost attached to it apart from the fact that it involves handling of cash.

It gives the customer a convenient, cost-effective option where the NRI does not need to visit any bank branch or agent outlet.
