It doesn’t have to be like this.
The Challenge
International payments are difficult. Currency spreads are confusing, and money lost in FX is often overlooked. What’s more, banks charge fees on top of this and spend days to process payments. Even when a payment is completed you can never be sure when your supplier will receive the funds.

ONE FEE
Remitsy was founded to help solve these problems. Utilising the latest in blockchain technology, payments between currencies can now be completed quickly and at low cost.
But we don’t want to just stop there. We want to to make the entire experience of making payments more pleasant. Consumer payments are already faster, more mobile, more flexible. It’s time for business payments to catch up.

How we do it
Payment time and cost is significantly reduced by limiting the number of intermediaries required for the
payment.
We’re able to offer cheaper and faster payments by utilising the power of the blockchain to convert currencies.
Traditional payments performed through banks must pass through multiple intermediaries and FX markets. Instead, we take a more direct route, matching sellers of bitcoin in Europe with buyers of bitcoin in China
By matching bitcoin liquidity in EUR* and CNY markets, Remitsy is able to convert currencies almost-instantly and offer its services at a significant discount to the bank rate.
*Remitsy also support payments in GBP and PLN.
