Boston, April 16, 2014 – Money transfer organizations operate in an increasingly cutthroat industry, where nominal growth in worldwide remittances strains to compensate for challenges in cross-border consumer money transfers. While growth rates in cross-border remittances are poised to pick up slightly over the next three years, downward pricing trends and local competition may impact money transfer organizations' bottom line. In this competitive landscape, opportunities to grow market share are sizable, but an understanding of the current trends is essential.
