Analyst Review:

The remittance industry shifts its focus on being digitally remastered. Factors such as growth in base of customers comfortable with using mobile devices in Asia-Pacific, rise in competition from new entrants, and margin pressures due to growth in global consensus on lowering remittance transaction fees drive the penetration of digital channels. Existing remittance service providers in Asia-Pacific embrace digital channels to complement their existent services network whilst new entrants such as TerraPay focus on a pure mobile strategy to connect better with users and create greater business value. Numerous benefits of using digital channels for sending money such as high speed, availability of digital channels 24 hours a day, transparency, ease of use, high security, and others create numerous opportunities for the market.

Rise in penetration of digital wallets is expected to boost the Asia-Pacific digital remittance market growth. For instance, in Bangladesh, B-Kash operates 18M wallet accounts and processes an approximate USD 26M in daily transactions. Also, in Philippines around 12M mobile wallet accounts are active. The increase in penetration of international peer to peer transactions and mobile wallets can accelerate the pace of the shift. Due to which many remittance companies leverage the advantages offered by digital to cost-efficiently expand access in Asia-Pacific. For instance, G-Cash which is a leading mobile wallet service provider in Philippines with 47M customers and a 46% share of the mobile telephony market, launched a remittance-linked medical insurance scheme. Asia-Pacific digital remittance market is highly fragmented and competitive, owing to the presence of well-diversified international and regional vendors.

However, continuous increase in presence of international vendors in this region impedes the growth of the small domestic players and makes the marketplace highly competitive. Although there is intense innovation, competition, and disruption in the digital remittance market, it has already experienced some consolidation. Furthermore, key players operating in this market adopt business expansion as their key developmental strategies. For instance, in May 2018, Azimo Ltd., a UK-based online money transfer company has raised $20 million by Japanese e-commerce company Rakuten to expand its presence in Asia.
