What data do you need to make a money transfer?

Mobile remittance apps have become an increasingly popular way to send money, but the service you use can significantly impact how much information a customer needs to provide. In the first in our Benchmarking mobile remittance apps series, we looked at what data was required by different providers – and there is significant variation.

Sender data required by mobile remittance apps Wise, Xoom, WorldRemit, Western Union, MoneyGram and Ria
