Becoming One Of The Leading FinTech Companies In Toronto: The Journey Of Remitbee

By Remitbee - Jan 15, 2020

The journey of how we, Remitbee Online Money Transfer, became one of the leading FinTech companies in Toronto starts from humble origins.

Our founders didn’t set out to make a fortune or disrupt the market. Instead, Remitbee was founded on one core value:

To provide online solutions for immigrants in Canada, so the process of sending money back to their origin countries is quicker, safer, and secure.

With our focus on making a difference in the lives of immigrants like you, we’re proud to say that Remitbee has been a huge success!

Follow us on that journey now…

With our core value in mind, we needed to build a platform that not only allowed you to send money instantly at the click of a button but allowed you to do it at an affordable rate. This became our vision; we pictured a world where people could send their money and support their families with a click or tap of a button, using an ordinary smartphone. No bank queues, no extortionate fees, and no complicated processes.

You’ll be happy to hear that we built Remitbee differently. We always put our customers first. That’s the real driving force of Remitbee’s journey! Putting the customer first has enabled us to build a seamless, innovative platform.

Here’s what we did differently:

  • We cut out the middleman, dealing directly with banks in over 50 countries. This allows us to keep our rates ultra-low and affordable for every immigrant in Canada.
  • Enable 24/7 transfers and short transfer times – plus confirmation that your money has been received via the app in just moments.
  • Offer multiple options that suit our customers, including direct delivery pickup, bank deposits and mobile wallets.

It soon became clear that to achieve all these goals for our customers, we’d need to take Remitbee to the forefront of the FinTech industry. And so, our journey to becoming one of the leading FinTechs in Toronto really kicked off!

We quickly decided that alongside improving the FinTech world specifically for immigrants in Canada, we should also create some new values. We were going to reshape the remittance industry, creating valuable partnerships along the way and giving back to the immigrant customers that inspired us in the first place!

Toronto is one of the leading FinTech hubs… in the world. There’s fierce competition to innovate the next time-saving, money-saving service to improve our lives. So, we were incredibly proud when in early 2019 we were recognized for our efforts.
