Sending money to tightly regulated regions has long been a challenge for customers looking to support family, manage expenses, provide financial assistance for medical needs, or maintain financial connections overseas.
When people send money to these corridors, they often face limited payout channels, slower processing times, and fewer reliable options for recipients.
For Australian customers, these challenges become even more distinct when they need to send money from Australia to Chad or the Congo DRC, where access to traditional banking infrastructure can be uneven.
In the Middle East, customers who send money to Jordan, Qatar, or Saudi Arabia may face strict banking requirements that limit flexibility and speed.
Access, transfer speed, and payout choice continue to shape how customers decide where and how to send funds.
MasterRemit’s latest expansion across Africa and the Middle East directly responds to these needs. MasterRemit makes it easier for customers to send money from New Zealand to Chad, Congo DRC, Jordan, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia through one trusted platform by opening new mobile wallet and bank deposit corridors.
This is a major step towards faster transfers and expanded payout options across Africa and the Middle East.
