Toronto - RemitBee has joined hands with Visa to support faster, secure cross-border payments for Canadians through Visa Direct.
Through this collaboration, RemitBee will strengthen its global payment network, helping users send funds to eligible bank accounts, digital wallets, and Visa cards worldwide. The collaboration supports RemitBee's coverage across more than 190 countries, 150 currencies, and 200 payment systems.
Supporting Canadians Who Send Money Globally
For many Canadians, sending money abroad is more than a financial transaction. It is a way to support family, manage responsibilities, and stay connected across borders.
Canada is home to a large immigrant community, and cross-border payments continue to play an important role in supporting families and communities around the world. In 2025, Canadians sent more than $23 billion CAD in remittances abroad, highlighting the importance of reliable money transfer services.
Expanding a Canadian-Built Payment Platform
RemitBee was founded in 2015 by immigrants who understood the challenges of sending money home. Over the past decade, the company has grown into a Canadian fintech platform serving more than 350,000 users.
The collaboration with Visa Direct marks another step in RemitBee's growth as a Canadian-built cross-border payments platform. It also supports the company's broader goal of building payment infrastructure for consumers, businesses, credit unions, regional remittance operators, and financial partners.
Through Visa Direct, RemitBee will strengthen its offering by supporting faster delivery of funds, expanding access into global markets, and using Visa's established risk, compliance, and security capabilities to help money move safely.
A Canadian Success Story Built by Immigrants
"We built RemitBee as immigrants who understood firsthand what it means to send money home. What began as a mission to make cross-border payments simpler has grown into one of Canada's largest payments platforms. We are proud that a company built by immigrants has become a Canadian success story, and that this collaboration with Visa helps take it even further." — Manos Yoganathan, COO and Co-Founder of RemitBee
Visa also highlighted the importance of supporting secure and inclusive money movement for Canadian senders.
"We're excited to work alongside RemitBee and support a truly homegrown Canadian fintech success story. Visa Direct was built to deliver fast, reliable, and secure money movement to billions of people around the world. Collaborating with RemitBee allows us to bring that capability directly to Canadian senders." — Sam Fuda, Head of Commercial Money Movement Solutions, Visa Canada
Strengthening Cross-Border Payments From Canada
This collaboration represents an important milestone for RemitBee and Canada's fintech ecosystem. As RemitBee continues to expand its payment infrastructure, the company remains focused on building transparent, secure, and accessible financial services for Canadians sending money across borders.
