Empowering Overseas Communities with Seamless Cross-Border Payments
Singapore-based fintech company Thunes has announced a strategic collaboration with EzyRemit, an Australian digital money transfer operator, to streamline and enhance cross-border payments for millions of overseas users. Through this partnership, EzyRemit will integrate with Thunes’ proprietary Direct Global Network, enabling real-time payouts to billions of mobile wallets, bank accounts, cards, and cash pickup locations across more than 45 countries.
This move significantly upgrades EzyRemit’s service capabilities, particularly in key remittance corridors such as Australia to the Philippines, where digital remittance volume is projected to surpass $183 million in 2025, with annual growth expected above 8% through 2029. The enhanced infrastructure aims to meet growing demands for faster, more transparent, and affordable international money transfers, especially among expatriates and migrant workers supporting families in their home countries.
Fueling Growth Through Real-Time Payment Infrastructure
By joining Thunes’ expansive network—which spans 130+ countries and supports over 80 currencies—EzyRemit strengthens its global footprint. The integration allows customers to benefit from instant settlements, improved FX transparency, and secure transactions via Thunes’ Fortress Compliance Platform and SmartX Treasury System.
EzyRemit, with operations in Australia, the US, Canada, Japan, Vietnam, and New Zealand, currently serves over 150 countries. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in its expansion strategy, offering users unmatched access to payment endpoints including platforms like AliPay, GCash, WeChat Pay, M-Pesa, and Airtel.
Executives from both companies view the partnership as a powerful alignment of missions—aiming to democratize global financial access and enhance economic participation across underserved communities.
With Thunes’ infrastructure trusted by global players such as Uber, Deliveroo, Grab, and WeChat, the alliance is expected to unlock broader opportunities for EzyRemit and redefine the global remittance experience for millions.
