4 Reasons You Should Stop Using Old Style Financial Services to Send Money Abroad
Why you should stop sending money abroad via bank, old-school finance services or remittance companies? Here are the 4 main reason.
1-High commission fees.
Sending money overseas with a bank or western union will cost you min 10$ to average 50$ for each time. Insane! Why you need to share your salary with those chunky bankers? Save it with your belovers in homeland. There should be some solution for this old style monopoly system.
2-Slow process and no guarantee.
Remittance companies said they are cheaper yes like 5$, but plus currency change rate which is unfair so you will lose like 5$ more from rates and they are slow like turtle. It will take weeks to perform transaction or you can receive an undelivered message after weeks of waiting. Do you or your family have weeks to receive money from you? What if they are sick or need to pay for school fee. Money transfer should be ontime and certain.
3-Unfair exchange rates during money transfer.
Your money will melt like an icecream in your hand. Yes, rate issue. You want to send money to your home back but your bank or western union or remittance companies like tranferwise or worldremit is charging you super unfair amounts with the local money exchange rates. So you can lose up to 16% beside the transfer fee. But why, is changing money to local currency that have that much cost, need any labor, need investment on manufacturing lines? Of course no, so what’s the reason for super high rate differences.
4-Bothering documentation to send money.
You need to prove so many documents and permissions to send or receive money from abroad in most of countries. Incase some urgent situation, if you need some extra money from your family, banks and government’s won’t allow you to do that and will ask for dozens of pages’ documents. For what? Just to receive money from your dad? We, honest people, shouldn’t have to suffer because of a few illegal guys.
There should be some new way fintech tools to solve all those problems.

At the end of this battle, Uber agreed to a 15-month “probationary” period with the restrictions agreed with TFL on June 26, 2018. It will give a leverage that Uber will use the probation period as an advantage and classify itself for five-year license which is good enough to revolutionize market and implement its power into London.
