Why should I use BCRemit?

The internet has improved the way we live in so many ways. Such as communicating with our loved ones via chat apps or email and online shopping.

BCRemit wants to do the same for money transfer. Currently, money remittance for most migrant workers is still done via traditional brick-&-mortar model offered by high street remittance companies and banks. This traditional way of sending money is usually expensive and time consuming, requiring customers to submit physical documents and to go to high street shops/offices.

Our online service is low cost, simple to use, fast and secure. You can send money in a few mins in the comfort of your home or office using your mobile phone, tablet or laptop/PC anytime, day or night.

BCRemit is committed to keeping our customers and their money safe and secure with our industry-leading technology.
