The solution is pre-integrated to 3300+ receiving banks, 180,000 cash pick up locations, home delivery along with mobile wallet deposits - all through a single digital hub.
Credit unions can easily offer this international money transfer solution to members, through a dedicated and branded downloadable mobile app. Celero and Mobetize also will integrate smartRemit within the credit unions’ digital banking solution offering.

“smartRemit was designed to address the challenges for FIs to provide a simple and cost effective experience to send international money transfers by their members, largely due to global regulatory compliance, complex payout channel methods and multiple currencies, and through our partnership with Celero, we are taking that seamlessness to the next level,” says Ajay Hans, Chief Executive Officer, Mobetize. “Celero’s Integration Services are truly plug and play, so credit unions can easily implement smartRemit, quickly, easily and cost-effectively.”
