Expanding Global Connectivity with ReadyRemit

According to Mastercard’s 2022 Borderless Payments Report, 42 percent of people globally are making or receiving more cross-border payments than 12 months ago, driving demand for a more frictionless, connected, and reliable payments experience. ReadyRemit gives clients access to payments to over 100 countries and 280,000 cash payout locations, including near real-time and same-day service (where available). The service supports several delivery channels (bank accounts, mobile wallets and cash-out locations) and payment types (B2B, B2P, P2P, and P2B).

“Our Cross-Border Services enable fast, smart, and simple access to funds whenever and wherever you are,” said Vickie Van Meir, Senior Vice President, Debit, North America, Mastercard. “Our work with Brightwell supports a reliable, equitable payments experience, broadening financial access around the world.”

Offering Turn-Key Solutions to Maximize the Market

Navigating regulations of cross-border payments is time-consuming and ever-evolving. ReadyRemit provides the technology components for customers to power a comprehensive compliance engine, along with a thoughtful customer-first experience to differentiate the service amid rising competition.

“Many fintechs and businesses are interested in adding remittances to their product to meet the demands of their global user base but are held back by the challenges surrounding existing options,” Hal Ramakers, Senior Vice President of Brightwell noted. “Our partnership with The Bancorp Bank, N.A., and Mastercard will enable customers to build a new revenue stream by offering low-to-no-code platform integrations containing everything needed to launch a global payments program in as little as 30 days.”

Dash Solutions, formerly known as Prepaid Technologies, is a pioneer of the prepaid industry with more than 50 years of electronic payments expertise, sought the need for a cross-border payments service to meet its cardholders’ remittance needs. As a solution, Dash Solutions turned to ReadyRemit, powered by Brightwell’s international payments partners.

“We partnered with Brightwell to bring its ReadyRemit solution to market for our Dash Payroll cardholders in need of remittance services,” said Matt Frye, Chief Product Officer, Dash Solutions. “Built with the prepaid cardholder in mind, the ReadyRemit solution offers both an API for our web users and a fully functioning SDK for our mobile apps.
