Send a bank transfer instantly with WorldRemit

You’re here. But your friends and family are thousands of miles away. Wherever home is for you, bring it closer with WorldRemit.

Send a bank transfer direct to your loved ones’ banks instantly. It’s easy and you can do it on your laptop or mobile.

We send over 130,000 bank transfers worldwide. But remember, a bank transfer is just one of four ways of sending with WorldRemit.

Here’s how it works

Simply visit our homepage and then:

Select country you want to send to
Select how you want to send
Enter the amount you want to send – our low fees and exchange rate will be clearly shown

Then, you'll be directed to another page to:

Create an account if you don't have one (you will be asked for your address, email, phone number)
Enter your recipient's details – choose from a list of people you've already sent to, or add a new person by entering their bank details and full name, phone number, address, and email (optional)
Pay. Choose how you want to pay – bank account, debit/credit card, SOFORT, INTERAC, POLI or iDEAL (web) – then confirm the amount.

To find out how long the transaction will take, select the country you are sending to in the blue box on this page, then scroll down to ‘bank transfers’.

Your recipient will be alerted by SMS and email when the money is available.
