Remitly's Global Impact team on partnering with the Red Cross: "We're building trust, community by community" From disaster response to preparedness, a partnership built around showing up when it matters. June 08, 2026 By Kristin Goodwillie, Northwest Region For Mallory Boulter, an American Red Cross Tiffany Circle member and VP of Global Impact at Remitly and Kiana van Waes, Trust Programs Lead at Remitly, the connection between their work and the Red Cross mission comes down to trust and a shared commitment to helping communities. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Seattle, Remitly, is a digital remittance service that enables international money transfers from and to the United States. "Our customers and their loved ones are located in over 175 countries, and when you compare that to the regions the Red Cross operates in, there's a striking overlap," says van Waes. "The regions our customers call home are so often the same regions hit hardest by disasters. Partnering with an organization that is already present, already trusted, and already working in those communities felt like an extension of our vision." That overlap makes the partnership a natural fit. Both organizations work alongside communities rather than stepping in only when disaster strikes. "Remitly isn't just a transaction, and the Red Cross isn't just a relief operation," Boulter said. "We're both establishing trust, built relationship by relationship, community by community." That trust shows up in how Remitly supports customers during emergencies. When disasters hit, the company has waived transfer fees to help families send money fast. "Speed matters because the financial reality of disaster doesn't wait," van Waes said. The goal is simple: make sure sending money during a crisis doesn't add to the burden. Remitly focuses on helping funds move quickly, securely, and reliably to the people who need them most. That shared philosophy, supporting people in crisis while also strengthening preparedness, has only deepened the partnership over time. Through its partnership with the Red Cross, Remitly is also investing in preparedness efforts before disasters happen. Donations support infrastructure and community resilience that helps people weather crises, rather than only recover from them. Boulter's involvement in the Tiffany Circle, a group of women leaders who support the Red Cross through philanthropy and advocacy, has also brought that mission even closer - re-enforcing the importance of community driven support across all areas of the organization's work. "Visiting the blood and platelet center recently grounded me in the importance of donor generosity and what it means to come together as a community," she said. "The Tiffany Circle is an example of how to meaningfully engage with communities locally." That focus on connection aligns closely with Remitly's values of building meaningful relationships with communities, both globally and locally. Remitly employees bring that same sense of connection into their work. In 2025, teams across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific participated in a MapSwipe project, a global opensource mapping project which helps improve maps in disaster-prone areas. Accurate maps allow humanitarian workers to respond to crises more quickly and efficiently. "Many of the locations on MapSwipe are places our customers call home," said Ella Brown, who led the volunteering effort. "This activity truly crossed borders." For Remitly, it all comes back to one guiding idea: showing up when it matters most. Whether it's helping a family send money home, supporting disaster preparedness, or aiding recovery, the goal is the same. How you can help.

Remitly Business adds Bulk Payments and Send by Link. Two new features - "Bulk Payments" and "Send by Link" - are rolling out in the US. Remitly Business is also now generally available to Canadian SMBs. Cross-border payments are one of the hardest jobs you take on as a small business owner. Manual payment runs take hours. A single typo in a recipient's name can hold up your vendor for days. Remitly Business is built to take that work - and risk - off your plate. Remitly Business is built on the same infrastructure that 9.6 million Remitly customers already trust to move money across borders. It's designed for an owner running the books, not a corporate treasury team. More than 20,000 businesses already use the product. Today, Remitly is introducing two new features built to address the specific needs of small businesses like yours: Bulk Payments and Send by Link. Bulk Payments Handle Payment Runs Faster With Bulk Payments, you can pay multiple recipients in a single workflow - contractors, freelancers, suppliers, or international team members. Just select your recipients from a list, see delivery speed, fees, and totals for every payment in one view, and approve. If your business runs a monthly pay cycle, what used to take half a day could now take minutes. Send by Link Reduces Payment Errors Incorrect recipient details - a misspelled name, a mismatched government ID, an outdated bank account number - are one of the leading causes of failed cross-border payments today. Collecting those details usually means asking a vendor or contractor to share sensitive banking information by email or other less secure channels - an awkward exchange most senders would rather avoid. With Send by Link, you can initiate a payment using only your recipient's email and phone number. Your recipient provides their payment details directly through a secure link, in their own time, so you never have to collect or see sensitive information. "When you pay your mother, you trust her before you ever hit send. When you pay a contractor on the other side of the world, you're either handing sensitive details to someone you barely know - or asking them to," said Ankur Tiwari, VP, Product, Remitly. "We built Send by Link so that never has to happen." Now Generally Available in Canada Small and medium-sized businesses in Canada can now use Remitly Business to pay contractors, suppliers, and global teams in over 100 countries - joining US and UK SMBs on the platform. Canadians have trusted Remitly to send money to loved ones around the world for more than a decade. In 2024, Remitly opened an office in the Vancouver area and joined Fintechs Canada to help shape policy on behalf of Canadian customers, alongside community partnerships with organizations like Websummit Vancouver, BC Tech, Latincouver, S.U.C.C.E.S.S., the Indo Pacific Foundation, Filipino BC, and Inter Toronto. The company has continued to expand its Canadian payment network, adding support for Interac e-Transfers, major Canadian bank accounts, and debit and credit cards. Most recently, Remitly received registration approval under Canada's Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA), making the company a regulated payment service provider in Canada and an advocate of advancing Canada's payments infrastructure with access to open banking and real time payment rails. Ready to try it? Remitly Business is available now to customers in the US, UK, and Canada. Send by Link is generally available to US customers. Bulk Payments is rolling out now to select US customers, with general availability to follow. If you're new to Remitly Business in Canada, you can save $130 CAD across your first two transfers - $65 CAD off each - on transfers of $200 CAD or more.

Remitly reaches another year of record send volumes as it celebrates 10 years in Canada, marking the milestone with RPAA registration. Ten years ago, Remitly entered Canada. Today, with record send volumes and official registration under Canada's Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA), Remitly Inc. is more committed than ever to the Canadians who trust Remitly Inc. to send money home. Remitly (Nasdaq: RELY) is proud to announce that 2025 marked another year of record send volumes in Canada. Over the past ten years, Canadians have trusted Remitly to send millions to their families around the world - and that trust continues to drive Remitly Inc. forward. To further mark this milestone, Remitly Inc. received registration approval under Canada's Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA), a reflection of its commitment to its Canadian customers. Remitly Inc. couldn't think of a better way to mark a decade in this country. A Decade of Investing in Canada. Remitly opened its Canadian office in Vancouver - one of the few fintechs to plant a physical flag in the region. Remitly Inc. joined Fintechs Canada to help shape the policies that affect its customers, partnered with organisations like Web Summit Vancouver, BC Tech, Latincouver, S.U.C.C.E.S.S., the Indo Pacific Foundation, Filipino BC, and Inter Toronto. Remitly Inc. built a product that works the way Canadians work, supporting Interac, major Canadian bank accounts, debit and credit cards, and an expanding Remitly Business offering for entrepreneurs. What the RPAA Means. Sending money across borders takes trust. The RPAA is Canada's way of making sure that trust is well-placed. It's a government-backed framework that holds payment companies to a strict set of standards, from how Remitly Inc. protect your money, to how Remitly Inc. respond if something goes wrong. For Remitly, registration under the RPAA is more than a compliance milestone - it commemorates Remitly Inc. as a regulated financial service provider in Canada. It also opens the path to Canada's next generation of payments infrastructure. For its customers, that means faster payments, more options, and lower costs. How This Benefits Customers. For the millions sending money home to the Philippines, India, USA, China, France, Mexico, and beyond from Canada, this registration means: * You're backed by Canada's regulatory system. You can send with confidence, as Remitly operates within Canada's formal financial framework. * You'll benefit from what comes next. RPAA registration is a key step towards connecting to Canada's real-time payments infrastructure as it comes online - meaning faster transfers, more ways to send, and lower costs. Choosing how to send money can be a hard decision, especially when you're navigating a new financial landscape. This registration makes that decision easier. "Receiving RPAA registration places Remitly among the fintechs that meet the Bank of Canada's standard - and that matters. It means our customers can trust that their money is in fully regulated hands, and it positions us to be at the table when Canada's financial infrastructure evolves. For the communities we serve, that's not a small thing. That's the difference between being an outsider in Canada's financial system and being a full participant in it." Said Jung Lee, Canada GM at Remitly What Comes Next. This is a foundation, not a finish line. As Canada's payments infrastructure evolves, Remitly is positioned to bring those innovations directly to the customers who need them most. Remitly Inc.'ll continue investing in products that make it easier and more affordable for Canadians to send money home, wherever home is.
