Remittance as a Service Creates Opportunities in E-Commerce
Blog post from Basis Theory
Remittance-as-a-Service (RaaS) applies modern payment automation to international money transfers between individuals and businesses, creating an opportunity for retailers and online merchants with established multi-processor payment capabilities. Remittances are economically significant in many countries with large diaspora populations, while business remittances support cross-border commercial payments that require efficient delivery, currency conversion, and low fees. Unlike traditional banks and legacy providers, RaaS platforms use apps, digital payment methods, identity verification, authorization checks, currency conversion, and local payout networks to move funds across different financial systems. Providers can earn revenue through transaction fees and currency conversion margins while potentially offering competitive exchange rates through scale and treasury management. Building such a service requires securely storing payer and recipient account information and integrating with multiple payment service providers, often using programmable token vaults and decisioning engines to orchestrate transactions across otherwise incompatible payment rails.
