Money is a statement. It is a statement of love. Love for a sick parent, love for a sibling and their educational pursuit, love for a friend who needs a helping hand establishing a business.

This is why remittances aren't just transactions; they are love letters sent across continents to meet a need. Whether you live in Toronto, Accra, Berlin or Nairobi, sending money back home is often your way of showing up for those you love.

It’s the fuel behind birthday surprises, house rents, tuition payments, hospital bills, and even simple grocery runs.

Money is also a statement of commendation. It is a “Well done” to the remote worker in Rwanda, a “Kudos” to the freelance graphic designer in India, and a “Good job” to the supplier in China.

Since money is a statement, it is imperative to communicate this statement effectively, especially when transacting across borders.

This is why this article will show you how to send money internationally through a practical solution like OhentPay. 

Why most money transfers still fail you

You certainly may have tried to send money to someone abroad and failed. In short, this may be the reason why you are reading this — you want to know what went wrong and how to navigate international money transfers.

The truth is that most international money transfer services, especially traditional banks, are not built for the people who actually use them.  

Firstly, these platforms have slow processing times, usually taking up to 3 – 5 business days. Let's not talk about the app downtime, glitches, transaction failures, and unexplainable delays associated with some of these platforms.

That’s not helpful when your cousin needs to pay for surgery today. Also, when you try to reach out for assistance, you are stuck with support bots, while your cousin is stuck on a hospital bed.

Secondly, they come with hidden fees. It is not wrong for these platforms to charge fees. After all, they need them to facilitate your transactions and also make profits.

However, some of these platforms have extra charges that you do not know about. You think you are paying $1.99 to send money, until you realize they shaved off 5% of your funds with a poor exchange rate.

Thirdly, many of these platforms have limited reach as they don’t support the country or local bank where your recipient actually banks. Moreover, some of them do not have robust security architecture, making them vulnerable to fraud and cyberattacks.

They may not even be regulatory compliant with anti-money laundering (AML) protocols and other security laws.  

These aren’t trivial issues. When money doesn’t arrive on time or disappears in thin air, it leads to real-world consequences: missed hospital appointments, unpaid school fees, broken trust, and unnecessary panic.

So what do you actually need from a money transfer app? 

Since traditional banks and other platforms keep failing you, you should know what to look out for in the “perfect” money transfer app. Some of the qualities include: 

1. Speed that matches urgency
2. Transparent fees 
3. Excellent exchange rates
4. Security 
5. Global reach
6. An intuitive interface 
7. Responsive and relational customer support 

All of these must work together. That’s the difference between a money transfer app that “works” and one that actually serves you.

A money transfer app with all these qualities is simply one that proffers modern solutions to modern transfer problems. OhentPay is a top example of such an app.
