What Is Money Transfer Software?

Money transfer software gives an operator customer-facing and back-office workflows for its remittance service. Remitz provides this technology under the operator’s own licence and provider relationships. It does not supply payment accounts, payout services or customer-funds custody.

How Does Money Transfer Software Work?

At its core, money transfer software connects three parties: the sender, the operator (MTO), and the recipient. Here is the typical flow:

1. Customer Registration — The sender registers on the operator's branded portal or mobile app. KYC identity verification uses the operator’s chosen provider and agreed checks, with manual review where required.
2. Transaction Initiation — The sender enters the transfer amount, selects the destination country and delivery method (bank deposit, mobile wallet, or cash pickup), and sees real-time exchange rates.
3. Compliance Screening — The software automatically screens the transaction against AML rules, sanctions lists, and velocity limits. Suspicious transactions are flagged for manual review.
4. Payment Collection — The sender pays via card, bank transfer, or Open Banking. The payment is processed through integrated payment gateways like Trust Payments.
5. Payout Execution — The software routes the payout to the recipient through the configured, supported payout partner based on the destination country and delivery method.
6. Notification — Notifications depend on the configured channel, provider services and status information received.
