The customer relationship is changing 

For years, remittance businesses have measured their customer relationship in a single moment: the transfer. Most other customer spending has happened outside that relationship. 

That’s starting to change. Global travel eSIM spend is projected to grow from $1.8 billion in 2025 to $8.7 billion by 2030 

It’s one of the fastest-growing categories in consumer telecom. The operators T that succeed will not only be those that move money well. They will be the ones that stay relevant to customers between transfers. 

The potential revenue opportunity 

Take 50,000 active customers: at 20% adoption and £40 average annual spend, that’s £400,000 flowing through the business, with a meaningful share retained as margin, scaling with the customer base rather than transaction volume. 

Offer travel eSIMs through your own brand 

This is why RemitONE has introduced travel eSIMs within its platform. 

Money Transfer Operator (MTO), banks and fintechs running on RemitONE can offer customers the ability to purchase and top up mobile data for use abroad, through their own branded customer experience. They can introduce an additional service without building telecom infrastructure or hiring specialist teams. 

Stay relevant between transfers 

The model is simple. 

A customer already using your app to send money can also access and purchase a travel eSIM. This helps keep your brand relevant beyond the transfer and gives customers another reason to return.
