Remitly hits 10M customers and raises outlook despite shrinking take rates and $141M one-time tax boost

Remitly reported second-quarter results for the period ended 30 June 2026, surpassing 10 million active customers for the first time—a 20% increase from 8.5 million a year earlier. Revenue grew 20% whilst adjusted EBITDA jumped 79% to $114.7 million, reflecting improved operating leverage. The company raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $1.978 billion to $1.988 billion, representing 21% to 22% growth. However, the record net income of $205.9 million included a one-time $140.6 million tax benefit from releasing a US valuation allowance. Send volume rose 27% to $23.5 billion, outpacing the 20% revenue growth—suggesting a declining take rate. Management attributed efficiency gains to AI improvements.
