How to Build a Leaner, Smarter Money Service Business in 2025

In an era of rapid regulatory change, rising customer expectations, and digital disruption, how can money service businesses (MSBs)—companies that facilitate the transfer, exchange, or payment of money—not only survive but thrive? 

In our recent webinar, we gathered our top experts and unpacked the most pressing challenges facing MSBs today and shared proven strategies to help you scale, streamline compliance, and embrace innovation. 

Here are the top takeaways:

1. Scale Smarter with our All-in-one Hub 

A major pain point for MSBs is integrating with multiple systems and partners from send and payout providers to value-add services like ID verification platforms, open banking tools, and payment gateways.  

RemitONE Hub™ solves this by offering two flexible options: connect via a single API or use our ready-made interface. Either way, you gain instant access to a global network of payment companies with the likes of Visa, Mastercard, Orange, MoneyGram, and many more. 

With access to over 2.5 billion bank accounts and 3 billion wallets, the RemitONE Hub™ gives you the tools to scale without stress. You stay in control of your payouts, partner terms, and operations—all from one place. 

We’ll help match you with the right partners based on your target corridors and budget to help meet your goals. What normally takes years, we help you achieve it in a few months. 

2. Shortcut to Launch into New Corridors 

Expanding to new corridors can feel like a maze of licences, banks, and paperwork. But it doesn’t have to be that way. 

With our Remittance-as-a-Service (RaaS), you can plug into our network of licensed partners across the UK, EU—and soon, the US and Canada. That means you can go live faster, spend less upfront, and stay fully compliant—without going it alone 

3. Stay Compliant with Compliance Manager™ (COM) 

Compliance and fraud prevention remain top priorities for MSBs. Our Compliance Manager™ (COM) automates 80% of those repetitive manual checks, runs real-time KYC/AML screening across 350+ global sanctions lists, and helps you monitor risk scores, transaction patterns, and suspicious activity. 

And it’s not just for MSBs. For central banks and regulators, COM offers live visibility into incoming and outgoing remittance flows—making it easier to track volumes accurately and close those reporting gaps. 

In short? You stay compliant, catch fraud early, and get to focus on growing your business.  

4. Reduce Costs and Settlement Delays with Open Banking 

We know how frustrating slow settlements and high fees can be—especially when you’re trying to keep things efficient. That’s why we support open banking. You can tap into direct bank-to-bank payments, which means faster processing times, fewer card-related fees, and reduced friction that often comes with traditional payment methods. We’ve already rolled this out across the UK and Europe through our partners, and it’s making a real difference. 

Even in countries without open banking, we provide alternative integrations with local processors. 

5. Offer Multifunctional Wallets for the Future of Finance 

Let’s be honest—digital wallets aren’t optional anymore. They’re a core part of how people move money today, and we’re making sure our clients are ready for that shift. 

We support everything from peer-to-peer transfers, bill payments, airtime top-ups, prepaid cards, and wallet-to-wallet transactions. Whether your customers are paying for groceries, sending money to family, or topping up Netflix—we’ve got it covered. 

We’ve also made sure our wallets connect to telcos, banks, and blockchain partners all with compliance built in from the get-go. 

It’s all part of how we’re helping MSBs stay relevant, inclusive, and ready for whatever comes next. 

6. Leverage a Flexible Platform Built for Growth 

One recurring theme throughout the webinar: flexibility is key. Whether you’re a startup finding your footing, a licensed MTO looking to scale, a send or payout partner, a central bank, or a sub-account issuer like an e-money institution, your needs will keep evolving. That’s why we’ve built our platform to move with you. Our white-label solution adapts to your regulatory landscape, your operations, and your goals—without locking you into one way of working. 

Because here’s the thing: if your platform isn’t flexible, you can’t adapt. And if you can’t adapt, you’ll get stuck—while your competitors sprint ahead. 

Worse still, you’ll waste valuable time patching together workarounds instead of moving forward. We’ve seen it too many times, which is why we’ve made it our mission to keep things open, partner-friendly, and ready for what’s next.  

Real growth happens when your platform moves with you—not against you. 

Ready to Future-Proof Your Business? 

The remittance and payments landscape is shifting fast, and the businesses that thrive are the ones that stay agile, compliant, and connected. 

At RemitONE, we’re not just building software. We’re helping MSBs grow smarter, launch faster, and operate with confidence, no matter where you’re headed next. 

If any of these challenges sound familiar, or if you’re curious about what’s possible with the right tech and support behind you, we’d love to talk.

Trump’s Threats to Cross-Border Payments: What It Means for Your Business  

It’s been a short while since Trump stormed back into office, and he’s already shaken things up with his hard-hitting policies—and, as always, he’s not one to shy away from bold and upfront decisions. But with every action comes a ripple effect, and in the world of cross-border payments, those ripples are turning into shockwaves. From proposed remittance taxes to intensified compliance risks, Trump’s latest moves are shaking up how money flows in and out of America. 

So, what does this mean for businesses, migrants, and economies relying on these payments? Let’s find out. 

1. Will Deportations of Migrants Impact Remittances? Here’s What the Data Says  

Mexicans, a huge diaspora, and one of the major remittances senders in the US, but we may see stricter immigration policies putting this financial lifeline at risk. The “Remain in Mexico” program has already led to nearly 11,000 migrants being sent back, potentially reducing the number of workers in the U.S. and, with them, the flow of cross-border payments. Since Trump’s arrival, 23,000 arrests have been made and 18,000 deportations, whilst it has risen significantly compared to the Biden administration it still remains lower than the peak levels seen during the early crackdown of Trump’s first term.  

So, what does this tell us? When Trump first took office, deportations surged as part of his hardline immigration stance. But over time, the wave slowed down. Now, despite his promise to deport 11 million people, the sheer complexity of the process appears to make that goal unlikely. In fact, this could even open a window for some undocumented migrants to secure legal status. But let’s say, hypothetically, mass deportations would happen—would remittances take a massive hit? Not necessarily. Many undocumented migrants are low-value remitters, meaning their contributions wouldn’t cause a drastic drop. What would shake remittance flows, though, is something much bigger: a tax on remittances. 

2. Will a Remittance Tax on US-Latin America Transfers Disrupt the Market? 

The proposed 10% remittance tax from the US to Latin American regions is an effort to minimise illegal immigration but can cause a significant dent on transactions, impacting money transfer operators, banks, and other players in the payments ecosystem by reducing revenue and lowering demand in certain corridors. 

For countries like Mexico, El Salvador, and Haiti—where remittances inject nearly $150 billion annually, this could be a devastating blow. Families who depend on these funds risk losing critical income, putting entire economies under strain. 

If implemented, Money Service Businesses (MSBs) may have no choice but to raise fees, potentially driving customers toward alternative solutions like digital wallets and crypto. Interestingly, Trump seems to support crypto, so could this be the turning point that finally makes it more secure and mainstream? 

3. Trump and Stablecoins: A Game-Changer for Cross-Border Payments? 

There’s hope on the horizon—Trump’s pro-stablecoin stance could be the catalyst to reshape cross-border payments. While Trump has halted any action to progress America’s CBDC, he’s taken more steps to advance the crypto movement. In a tweet, he unveiled the U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve, which will include XRP, SOL, and ADA, with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other key cryptocurrencies that will be added to “the heart of the Reserve.” Since the announcement, the value of the first three coins surged by 62%, while BTC and ETH have climbed up by 10%. This momentum is pushing forward Trump’s goal of making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.” 

Two posts by Donald Trump on Sunday, March 3, 2025, on his Truth Social account. 

So, what does this mean for remittances? Stablecoins offer faster, cheaper, and more accessibility, eliminating high fees and long processing times, making this a more attractive alternative to existing transfer methods to senders.  

Of course, regulation follows. Trump’s administration has called for a federal regulatory framework for digital assets to bring clarity. If well executed, this could boost financial inclusion and drive crypto adoption, but if it becomes too strict, it can do the opposite, where it stifles innovation and progression.  

4. Crypto in Crisis: What’s shaking the market? 

The cryptocurrency market took a plunge over the weekend, and while crypto is no stranger to volatility, this time the drop wasn’t just about digital assets—it was about politics, economics, and the shifting global financial landscape. 

A major trigger was the Trump administration’s new tariff hikes on imports from Mexico and Canada, which sent investors retreating from risky assets like Bitcoin, creating a domino effect across the sector. Then there was the regulatory uncertainty. The U.S. government’s new restrictions on crypto exchanges and stablecoins fuelled distrust, prompting even more selloffs. On top of that, fresh inflation data and Trump’s aggressive trade policies led to a reassessment of potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, putting even more pressure on risky assets like crypto. 

Ironically, part of the turmoil can be traced back to Trump’s own cryptocurrency summit on March 7. The announcement of a strategic bitcoin reserve—a government-controlled stash of digital assets initially caused Bitcoin’s price to drop by 6%. While the move signalled greater government involvement in crypto, it left many investors questioning what that would actually mean in practice. The market’s uncertainty around this policy likely contributed to the larger crash that followed. 

5. Stricter Compliance: A Roadblock for Remittances? 

The designation of cartels as terrorist organisations, combined with tighter immigration policies, is set to intensify compliance pressures on MSBs. They must now exercise even greater due diligence to avoid any unintended links to sanctioned groups. 

For migrants, this means longer wait times, extra fees, and fewer options to send money home. If traditional corridors start shutting down, people will have no choice but to look elsewhere, whether that’s the age-old hawala system or the rising use of crypto and stablecoins, a shift that could play right into Trump’s pro-digital currency agenda. 

Whereas for giants like Western Union and MoneyGram, who move billions to Latin America, the stakes are high. Stricter AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations will be unavoidable, but for some financial institutions, the risk might be too much. We’ve seen this play out before where banks pulled out of Somalia’s remittance corridors when terrorist groups gained traction, leaving thousands stranded without access to funds. Could Latin America perhaps face the same fate? 

Keeping up with ever-changing regulations is more than just a headache—it’s a matter of survival. A single compliance slip-up can trigger heavy fines or, worse, force a business to shut its doors entirely. Yet, many companies still juggle multiple software tools, manually stitching together fragmented systems to stay compliant. 

This approach isn’t just inefficient; it’s risky. When regulations shift overnight, you need a solution that evolves with them. That’s why we built an all-in-one platform with compliance at its core. Unlike other providers, we continuously adapt to market trends and regulatory changes, ensuring you aren’t left scrambling when new rules emerge. 

Take our Liveness feature for example. With biometric-powered selfie checks, remitters can instantly confirm their identity—cutting fraud risks while keeping regulators satisfied. Plus, through our platform, regulators and central banks can track all inbound and outbound transactions, ensuring total transparency. 

 It’s this kind of innovation that makes compliance less of a burden and more of a competitive advantage.

How Banks Can Reclaim Their Role in Cross-Border Payments with RemitONE

Banks, once the cornerstone of international payments, are finding themselves sidelined. Senders and receivers have now joined forces, pushing banks out of the equation. 

But all is not lost. By embracing cutting-edge tools and software, banks can avoid being bypassed by larger MTOs and telcos. By connecting via a simple API to the RemitONE Hub™, they gain access to a multitude of MTOs, banks, and telcos worldwide, enabling them to send or receive various payment types, including cash, bank account, airtime, utility bills, and mobile wallet payments. 

The Challenge: Banks on the Sidelines 

The traditional banking model for international money transfers is facing significant disruption. People now have access to digital services that make transfers quick and easy with just a tap on their phone. Fintechs and money transfer operators (MTOs) help senders move money faster and cheaper, while aggregators and telecoms ensure it reaches even the most remote places. 

Which leaves the lingering question: Where does that leave banks? How can they stay relevant in this shifting landscape? 

The Solution: The RemitONE Hub™ 

RemitONE offers a powerful solution by acting as a bridge between banks and the wider fintech ecosystem. 

The RemitONE Hub™ is a secure, flexible platform to manage and process money transfer transactions. Powered by modern technology, it offers real-time transaction monitoring, tracking, detailed reporting, and customisable features, all offered within a white-labeled solution.

On the receiving side, RemitONE connects banks to:

Driving Innovation and Customer Trust: The Role of Compliance, Speed, and Transparency in the Evolving Payments Landscape | IPR Global 2024 

In today’s fast-evolving payments landscape, security, compliance, and customer expectations are more interconnected than ever. As businesses strive to innovate and meet the growing demand for faster, more transparent payment solutions, integrating compliance from the start is no longer a choice—it’s a necessity. 

We gathered our panel of experts from top companies in the field to share their insights and strategies. 

Panellists:  

• Michael Bermingham, Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, Nium 

• Anastasia Serikova, VP, Head of Revenue and Growth, Visa Direct at Visa 

• Kunal Choudhary, Money Transfers Strategy Lead, Worldpay 

• Mitchell Fordham, Chief Revenue Officer & Co-founder, eSIM Go 

Moderator: 

• Oussama Kseibati, Business Development Officer, RemitONE 

1. Balancing Innovation with Security: How Are Companies Integrating Compliance to Enhance Trust in the Payments Landscape? 

In the evolving payments landscape, security and compliance aren’t just obstacles—they’re integral to innovation and customer trust. Michael highlighted that integrating compliance directly into product development can actually streamline processes rather than create friction. By building end-to-end solutions that embed compliance from the start, companies can meet regulatory standards, mitigate fraud risks, and open doors for more secure, seamless transactions. This approach not only can potentially position companies as leaders in compliance but also offers clients and partners a smoother, more reliable service. 

Anastasia echoed Michael’s view, emphasising that products must work in close harmony with compliance. Open, continuous dialogue with regulators is crucial to ensuring that innovation and security progress together. Recent cross-border payment targets set by the Financial Stability Board—such as the goal for 75% of cross-border payments to arrive within an hour, with the remainder arriving within one business day by 2027. While challenging, it can push the industry to ultimately improve transparency and customer satisfaction. 

2. Shifting Customer Expectations and the Impact of Seamless Payments and Remittances on Satisfaction  

Customer expectations should naturally evolve as innovation progresses, highlighted Kunal. If they aren’t changing, something’s off. He broke this down into three key areas: transparency, speed, and convenience. Worldpay’s recent report found 84% of consumers want one-click payments, 67% prioritise ease of use when choosing a preferred payment method, and an impressive 97% say that fast payouts are crucial for a positive remittance experience. Integrating these elements into your payment processes is essential for a seamless customer journey. 

When it comes to customer loyalty, fees are a major factor—73% of respondents consider them when choosing a remittance provider. Even more telling, 98% said transparency from the beginning of the transaction is key to keeping them loyal. In contrast, hidden fees or a lack of transparency can break trust, leading 20% of customers to abandon a transaction and seek alternatives. Failure to meet expectations on transparency or fees could leave customers feeling blindsided, eroding their confidence in the brand. 

Michael added to Kunal’s point, highlighting the growing demand for real-time payments. Today’s customers want to know exactly where their money is at every step of the journey. While speed is crucial, transparency about the transaction’s status throughout the process is just as important. Customers are increasingly frustrated when they don’t have visibility into the status of their payments, which can detract from their overall satisfaction. 

3. Case Studies: Leading Companies Elevating Customer Experience 

Mitchell shared how Western Union is utilising eSIM technology to enhance customer convenience and loyalty. Through their digital wallet, the company offers eSIM options that allow customers to stay connected while travelling abroad, making it easier to manage finances, communicate with family, and access their services. This added benefit not only enriches the customer experience but also helps retain users by offering more value. Additionally, this approach allows Western Union to gather data that can be used to further refine and improve their services. 

Worldpay, one of the largest payment acquirers, has a robust global infrastructure supporting over 180 markets and processing more than 50 billion transactions in multiple currencies. This vast expertise enables them to help merchants expand into new markets and enhance the customer experience, pointed out Kunal. Worldpay’s ability to innovate in fraud prevention through AI and machine learning helps ensure flag fraudulent activity beforehand and prevent it moving forward. While their focus on offering a wide range of payment options helps meet diverse customer needs. Their continued commitment to enhancing the payments experience through these technologies has enabled merchants to expand into new markets with greater confidence, benefiting both businesses and customers alike. 

A growing trend in the payments industry, highlighted by Anastasia, is the increasing demand for faster, more transparent payments, particularly for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs). A notable example is Revolut’s instant payouts for businesses, a service powered by Visa Direct. This has been driven by the need for speed and clarity in payments. 

4. Promoting Financial Inclusion Through Payments and Remittances in Underserved Regions 

In regions like Latin America, particularly Brazil, the introduction of real-time payments through PIX has been a game-changer. This system allows users to send and receive payments instantly, bypassing traditional banking systems and making financial transactions more accessible. Additionally, the ability to store and use foreign currencies in digital wallets is helping underserved populations meet daily financial needs, especially in times of crisis. This has opened up new opportunities for individuals, such as remote workers and freelancers, who can now receive payments from employers across different regions without relying on traditional bank accounts. 

Anastasia highlighted several initiatives powered by Visa that contribute to financial inclusion. She shared how Visa has facilitated rapid state payouts during crises, such as in Guatemala following a natural disaster. Through Visa’s payment rails, the government was able to distribute funds quickly to almost 3 million people. Looking ahead, Anastasia predicts that digital wallets are expected to play an even larger role in financial inclusion, making it easier for people in underserved regions to access financial services. 

Mitchell also discussed the significant role of mobile operators in providing financial services to underserved regions, particularly through companies like MTN and Digicel. However, a more innovative approach where not only can money be transferred between phone numbers, but the mobile operator also provides a SIM card to the recipient. This creates opportunities to better understand user behaviour, track interests, and gather insights about customer segments. By offering mobile plans at affordable rates, these operators are able to deliver a range of services that offer more value than just low fees, which in turn helps foster stronger brand loyalty and financial inclusion.
