                    Cross-border payments are the lifeblood of global commerce. Yet hidden fees, slow settlement, and
                    regulatory friction cost businesses thousands annually. Traditional banks and outdated money transfer
                    operators deliver slow transactions, opaque exchange rates, and high correspondent banking fees.

                            A remittance corridor is the path money takes from a sending to a receiving country. Popular
                            corridors include USA → Mexico, UK → Nigeria, UAE → India, and Europe → Philippines. Each
                            corridor has unique characteristics: average transfer size, local payment methods (bank transfer,
                            mobile money, cash pickup), and regulatory nuances.

                            Most businesses lose 3–8% on every cross-border transaction due to hidden spreads and intermediary
