Did you know that India has more expatriates than any other country in the world? 18 million of its citizens live and work around the world.
Many Indians working abroad send money home to help support their family for day-to-day necessities as well as emergencies and special occasions.
Bank transfers and international money orders are traditional ways to send money, but these options can be expensive, slow and don’t let you track the transfer.
We believe sending money home should be affordable, quick and easy, safe and stress-free. It’s why we created Remitly—so here are 5 top reasons why people use our app to send money to India.
1. YOUR SECURITY IS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY
Millions of people around the globe trust Remitly because of our simple, smooth, safe and secure money transfer experience.
Remitly uses multiple levels of security so you can send money home with peace of mind. Your personal data is protected 24 hours a day through fraud monitoring and encryption.
2. MORE OF YOUR MONEY MAKES IT HOME
When you’re sending money to loved ones, you want your money to convert into as much of your home country’s currency as possible.
At Remitly, we consistently offer highly competitive exchange rates and low fees with no hidden fees and no fees for your recipients—so that more of the money you send makes it back home.

At Remitly, our customer support people are ready to help through online live chat in 18 languages, 24 hours a day. We also have staff ready to chat in English on the phone 24/7.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
