Global Money Transfer Summit


Remittances remain a key source of external resource flows for developing countries, far exceeding official development assistance and more stable than private debt and portfolio equity flows. For many developing countries, remittances are an important source of foreign exchange, surpassing earnings from major exports, and covering a substantial portion of imports. 

The remittances industry should be safe, efficient and reliable. The regulatory environment is constantly changing and currently around the world items ranging from AML directives to taxes on remittances are being constantly debated and, in many cases, brought into law without meaningful consultation with the money transfer industry. 

The International Association of Money Transfer Networks (IAMTN) will continue to enhance its work with all stakeholders and to represent the industry wherever we can.

As every year the International Association of Money Transfer Networks (IAMTN) is inviting money transfer professionals from all over the world to the major event of the industry - the GMTS2014.

Instant Cash – Ria alliance

Instant Cash Global Money Transfer, a member of the Emirates Post Group, has recently entered into a strategic alliance with Ria Money Transfer, a wholly owned subsidiary of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. that will give the United States-based remittance provider access to the growing pay out network of Instant Cash.

Instant Cash is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Emirates Post Group, and its services are available in 60 countries through more than 150,000 locations. The move comes a few months after Instant Cash, which enables immediate remittance payment to the beneficiaries across its growing global network, had tied up with India Post and Philippines Post amongst others to bring thousands of locations within its growing network of payout locations.

The agreement gives Ria Money Transfer – the third largest global money transfer service provider – access to Instant Cash’s network. It also gives Instant Cash and its agent’s direct access to the global network of Ria Money Transfer of more than 219,000 locations, including the European and US markets.
