Solution
Stop paying fees. Get paid to send money home.
Send it home in minutes: gift cards for groceries, pharmacy and school. You choose the budget, they choose the brand, and you earn cash back doing it.
The challenge
Fees shrink the gift
Transfer and conversion fees take a slice before it reaches home.
No say in where it goes
Cash can be spent on anything, and you rarely see what it bought.
Pickup and delays
Queues at a counter, ID checks and days of waiting for a transfer to clear.
