Why do you ask so much information about the recipient ?

International money transfers are subject to strict regulations enforced by governments and financial institutions. To comply with these laws, we need to gather detailed information about both the sender and the recipient.

In addition to complying with Canadian regulations, we must also meet the regulations of the recipient's country and their financial institution.

For most countries, we require only the recipient's personal and banking details. However, for certain countries and financial institutions, additional information such as the recipient's address, government ID number, or tax number may be necessary.

Please note that RemitBee only requests information essential for completing the transaction. In rare instances, our banking partners or the government in the recipient's country may require extra information or documents.
